Analysis1) General CharacteristicsThe Neoclassical Style is characterized by harsh sculptural lines, a subdued palette, and for the most part, planar instead of linear recession into space. It draws inspiration from the "classical" art and culture of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome. Neoclassicism was born in Rome in the mid-1700s, but its popularity spread all over Europe, as a generation of European art students finished their Grand Tour and returned from Italy to their home countries with newly rediscovered Greco-Roman ideals.

2) Art Form

Paintings, sculptures and architectures were the only most prominent manifestation of Neoclassicism.
