    Summary

    The artistic style known as "Neoclassicism" was the predominant movement in European art andarchitecture during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It reflected a desire to rekindle the

    spirit and forms of classical art from ancient Greece and Rome, whose principles of order andreason were entirely in keeping with the European Age of Enlightenment. Neoclassicism was

    also, in part, a reaction against the ostentation ofBaroque art and the decadent frivololity of thedecorative Rococo school, championed by the French court - and especially Louis XV's mistress,

    Madame de Pompadour - and also partly stimulated by the discovery of Roman ruins atHerculaneum and Pompeii (1738-50), along with publication in 1755 of the highly influential

    bookThoughts on the Imitation of Greek Works of Art, by the German art historian andscholar Johann Winckelmann (1717-68). All this led to a revival of neoclassical painting,

    sculpture and architectural design in Rome - an important stopover in the Grand Tour - fromwhere it spread northwards to France, England, Sweden and Russia. America became very

    enthusiastic about Neoclassical architecture, not least because it lent public buildings an aura oftradition and permanence. Neoclassical painters included Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-79),

    Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807) and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867); while sculptors included Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828),

    John Flaxman (1755-1826), Antonio Canova (1757-1822), and Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844).Among the best known exponents of neoclassical architecture were Jules-Hardouin Mansart

    (1646-1708), Jacques Germain Soufflot (1713-80), Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), JohnNash (1752-1835), Jean Chalgrin (1739-1811), Carl Gotthard Langhans (1732-1908), Karl

    Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841), and Benjamin Henry Latrobe (1764-1820).

    Origins & Scope

    The revival of artistic canons from Classical Antiquity was not an overnight event. It built on Renaissance ar

    as well as the more sober styles of Baroque architecture, the mood of Enlightenment, the dissatisfaction with the R

    and a new respect for the earlier classical history painting ofNicolas Poussin (1593-1665), as well as the classicalsettings ofClaude Lorrain's (1600-82) landscapes. Furthermore, it matured in different countries at different times

    Neoclassical architecture actually originated around 1640, and continues to this day. Paradoxically, the abundanceancient classical buildings in Rome meant that the city at the heart of the neoclassicism movement experienced

    little neoclassical architecture.

    In addition, despite appearances, there is no clear dividing line between Neoclassicism and Romanticism. Th

    because a revival of interest in Classical Antiquity can easily morph into a nostalgic desire for the past.

    Neoclassicism Characteristics

    Neoclassical works (paintings and sculptures) were serious, unemotional, and sternly heroic. Neoclassical padepicted subjects from Classical literature and history, as used in earlierGreek art and Republican Roman art, usinsombre colours with occasional brilliant highlights, to convey moral narratives of self-denial and self-sacrifice ful

    keeping with the supposed ethical superiority of Antiquity. Neoclassical sculpture dealt with the same subjects, an

    more restrained than the more theatrical Baroque sculpture, less whimsical than the indulgent Rococo. Neoclassicaarchitecture was more ordered and less grandiose than Baroque, although the dividing line between the two can

    sometines be blurred. It bore a close external resemblance to the Greek Orders ofarchitecture, with one obvious

    exception - there were no domes in ancient Greece. Most roofs were flat.

    Neoclassical Painters

    Founders and famous artists of Neoclassicism include the German portraitist and historical painterAnton

    Raphael Mengs (1728-79), the Frenchman Joseph-Marie Vien (1716-1809) (who taught J-L David), the Italianportrait painter Pompeo Batoni (1708-87),the Swiss painter Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807), the French

    political artist Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), and his pupils Jean-Germain Drouais (1763-88), Anne-Louis

    Girodet de Roucy-Trioson (1767-1824), J.A.D. Ingres (1780-1867) the French master ofacademic art, and theAmerican expatriate Benjamin West (1738-1820). In Britain, celebrated followers of Neoclassicism

    included: Sir Joshua Reynolds and the Irish virtuosoJames Barry.

    Neoclassical Sculptors

    Leading Neoclassical sculptors include Antonio Canova (1757-1822) who sculpted for Popes and

    Napoleon; the Englishman John Flaxman (1755-1826) who also designed Jasperware for Wedgwood; the

    Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) known for hisJason with the Golden Fleece (1802-3,Thorvaldsen Museum, Copenhagen); and Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), best known for hisportrait

    busts in marble.

    In France, the tenuous ascendency of the rococo during the Regence period led to a reaction in favour of a

    nobler and more serious style ofsculpturein the 1740s which, as we have seen, was associated with a feeling of

    nostalgia for the reign of Louis XIV. The classicism of the 1740s and of Bouchardon in particular should not

    however, be seen as a rejection of thebaroque, but as a further development of baroque classicism that looksback to the style of the late 17th century rather than directly to Greek sculptureorRoman sculptureof antiquity.

    Only in Rome in the 1760s did the growing dissatisfaction with what Jacques-Louis Davidcalled 'la queue de

    Bernini' or the tail-end of the baroque, find expression in a coherent theory.

    The spokesman forneoclassical art was Johann Joachim Winckelmann(1717-68), the Germanantiquarian, who produced a number of publications onGreek art that for the first time attempted to organize

    Greek statues according to their stylistic development. Winckelmann saw the Baroque as an unfortunate

    inheritance that had to be swept away if artists were to return to the purity and simplicity of classical antiquity.He rather unexpectedly chose the statue in the Vatican known asLaocoon and His Sons(c.42-20 BCE), as one

    of the principal examples of the 'edle Einfalt und stille Grosse' of the best Greek works, but he saw these

    qualities in the restraint and nobility with whichLaocoon suffers his terrible agony.

    The quality of restraint had always been admired by classical theorists, but the novelty in Winckelmann's

    argument is that his ideal of simplicity is not just an admonition to avoid over-elaboration, but a call to artists to

    purge themselves of everything extraneous to the pure realization of the idea of their work. As a result aconvincing appearance of reality was no longer asine qua non, and naturalism for its own sake was condemned

    as imitation of nature.

    Antonio Canova

    The theory and the earlier development of neoclassicism was essentially the achievement offoreigners in Rome, but the greatest exponent wasAntonio Canova (1757-1822), an Italian who

    studied in Venice. He became a sudden convert to the doctrine of neoclassicism, and we can

    follow the change in his work and the reaction of his contemporaries to it. Canova was born in

    Possagno, near Venice, and had achieved a great reputation in Venice, especially for the groupofDaedalus and Icarus (1779). This work is still in an unmistakably late Baroque idiom; the

    surface of the figures is minutely depicted and their relationship graceful and conversational. He

    brought a version of it to Rome in 1779 where he became friendly with the Scottish painter GavinHamilton, who had become the arbiter of neoclassical taste after the death of Winckelmann in

    1768. In 1781 Canova was given a block of marble by the Venetian ambassador for a group

    ofTheseus and the Minotaurand, apparently on Hamilton's advice, he decided to show the momentof triumph after the battle instead of the battle itself. The work is revolutionary in its

    uncompromising severity. It marks the end of the baroque era in sculpture and henceforward the

    new Grecian style gradually took over as the official style for all monuments and large-scale

    sculptural projects. His Success with the Theseus led to the commission for the tomb of PopeClement XIV (1784-7) in Ss. Apostoli in Rome. This project invited direct comparison

    withBernini, and Canova's final realization can be seen as deliberate purification of Bernini's

    concept of the papal tomb; the dazzling polychromy has been replaced by unsullied Carrara

    marble, and the curvilinear forms and strong diagonals have yielded to a rigid system ofhorizontals and verticals, while the figures are spaced out and separated from each other.

    Canova's zeal in removing the excrescences from Bernini's conception has also removed much of the

    artistic vitality. His less ambitious works where a little rococo esprit remains are now much more acceptablethan his grander tombs, but his contemporaries took a more high-minded view of his achievements. Milizia, a

    contemporary and supporter of Canova, praised the tomb of Clement XIV for its Grecian qualities, 'I feel

    assured, however, that if in Greece, and during the happiest ages of Grecian art, it had been required tosculpture a Pope, the subject would not have been treated in a manner different from the present', while

    spectators who saw the Theseus for the first time were convinced that it was a copy of a Greek original and

    were astonished to be proved wrong. Yet Canova always abhorred the practice of copying Greek works, for to

    him and to Winckelmann imitation meant the return to the original spirit of the Greeks,whosebronzeand stone masterpieces were the natural outgrowth of a Golden Age when artists and

    philosophers were united in the contemplation of the perfection of the human body. (An approach taken up

    by Renaissance sculptorslike Michelangelo.) The opposition to Canova, which was bitter in his early days, issummed up in the remark of the director of the French Academy, who on seeing the Theseus, asked Canova,

    Tell me, why have you changed your style; who persuaded you to abandon the pursuit of Nature?'

    Neoclassical Painting- The Revival of the Antique

    Neoclassical painting typically involved an emphasis on austere linear design in the depiction ofclassical events, characters and themes, using historically correct settings and costumes. Its emergence

    was greatly stimulated by the new scientific interest in classical antiquity that arose during the course of

    the 18th century. A series of remarkable archeological discoveries, notably the excavation of the buriedRoman cities of Herculaneum (begun 1738) and Pompeii (begun 1748), caused an upsurge of renewedinterest in Roman art. Furthermore, from around 1712 onwards, several influential publications by

    Bernard de Montfaucon (1655-1741), Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-78), the Comte de Caylus, andRobert Wood provided engravings of Roman monuments and other antiquities and further heightened

    interest in classical antiquity. All this helped scholars to establish a more accurate chronology for Greco-Roman art, whose numerous strands and styles stimulated greater respect for the culture of the period.

    The writings of the German scholar Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-68) were particularly

    influential in this regard and rapidly established him as the champion ofGreek art, and of the latentstyle of Neoclassicism.

    Early Neoclassical Painting (c.1750-80) - Characteristics

    Neoclassicism as expressed in painting developed in different ways to neoclassical sculpture or

    architecture. The latter genres were based on actual prototypes which had survived from antiquity. Butalmost no paintings had been found to survive, until, that is, the excavations at Herculaneum and

    Pompeii.

    The earliest painters of the neoclassical school were centred round Winckelmann and Anton Raphael

    Mengs (1728-79) in Rome. They included the Frenchman Joseph-Marie Vien (1716-1809) (whosepupils included J-L David), the Italian portraitist Pompeo Girolamo Batoni (1708-87), the Swiss

    artist Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807), and the Scotsman Gavin Hamilton(1723-98), all of whomwere active in the 1750s, 60s, and 70s. And while their compositions typically included poses and

    figurative arrangements from Greek sculpture and vase paintings, they were still strongly influenced bythe preceding rococo.

    The style of Kauffmann's pretty, sentimental paintings, for instance, is barely distinguishable frommuch rococo art. (Self-Portrait Torn Between Music and Painting, 1792, Puskin Museum of Fine Arts.)Even its classical scenes have a rococo-type lightness. (Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi, 1785, Virginia

    Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond.) The same might be said of the work ofElisabeth Vigee-

    Lebrun (1755-1842). Another case in point is the neoclassical painting Parnassus (1761; Villa Albani,Rome) by Mengs, which borrowed heavily from 17th-century classicism as well as the High Renaissance

    master Raphael. Moreover, despite Mengs's apparent agreement with Winckelmann's theory ofGreek aesthetics, the style he used in most of his church and palace ceilings was more akin to existing

    Italian Baroquetraditions than to ancient Greece.

    Other influences included works by the great Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), the greatest French painter

    of the 17th century, whose own brand of classical history painting set the standard in academic art forgenerations and became the embodiment of French classicism. His contemporary in Rome, and an

    equally important influence on neoclassicism, was Claude Lorrain (1600-82), whose Italianatelandscapes - filled with biblical and mythological narrative - inspired a wide range of successors,

    including JMW Turner.

    Later Neoclassical Painting (1780s onwards) - Characteristics

    A purer more rigorous school of Neoclassical painting appeared in France in the 1780s under the

    leadership ofJacques-Louis David. He and his contemporary Jean-Francois Peyronwere more interested

    in narrative painting than the ideal forms that fascinated Mengs. During the late 1780s and early 90s -coinciding with the outbreak of the French Revolution - Jacques-Louis David and other painters borrowed

    inspirational subjects from Roman republican history in order to celebrate the values of simplicity,austerity, heroism, and stoicism - the same values that were being asserted at the time in connection

    with the French struggle for liberty.

    Thus David's historical compositions like the Oath of the Horatii(1784, Louvre, Paris) represent a

    strong sense of gravitas, as well as a certain rhetorical quality of posture and gesture, along withpatterns of drapery that owe much to Greek sculpture. If some of these elements had already been seen

    in works by British and American painters like Hamilton and West, the figurative confrontations in J-LDavid's pictures are much more dramatic: not only are they starker and in clearer profile on the same

    plane, and set out against a more monumental background, but also there is nothing to be seen of thedistinctive features of Baroque painting, such as diagonal compositional movements, large groups of

    figures, and flamboyant drapery. Unlike the early Italian neoclassicism produced in Rome, this laterFrench style of neoclassical painting was far more uncompromising, and pared down to its austere

    essentials - quite in keeping with the ruthless cultural vision of the French Revolution. See also David'smasterpiece Death of Marat(1793, Musees Royaux des Beaux Arts, Brussels).

    This neoclassical austerity is aptly illustrated in the emotionally detached works of the great

    Neoclassical painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867). Ingres produced a large number ofportraits and subject paintings - using a variety of classical and oriental themes - which were heavilydependent on linear design, a shallow picture plane and muted colours. Even his supposedly sensuous

    nudes, like The Turkish Bath (1862, Louvre) or La Grande Odalisque (1814, Louvre) are essentially coldcompositions, brilliantly executed.

    Divergence From the Baroque Style

    Where 17th century Baroque painters made full use of the dramatic qualities of colour, atmosphere and

    light - witness its reliance on tenebrism andchiaroscuro - neoclassical painters, at least by the 1790s,emphasized outline and linear design. Widely available prints of classical sculptures and paintedGreek

    pottery helped to shape this bias, which can be clearly seen in the simplified illustrations made by the

    English sculptor John Flaxman (1755-1826) for editions of works by Homer and Aeschylus. Thesedrawings are marked by their reduced pictorial space, and minimal stage setting, as well as an austerelinearity in their depiction of the human form, a style later borrowed by several other figurative painters,

    such as the Swiss-born romantic painter Henry Fuseli(1741-1825) and the English romantic William

    Blake (1757-1827), among others.

    Neoclassical Costume, Setting, Subject Matter

    The Neoclassical painting school attached great value to the historical accuracy of costumes, settings,

    and background details in their compositions - a principle which could be applied easily enough to eventstaken from Greek mythology or Roman history, but which ran into controversy when applied to

    contemporary settings: after all, why should a modern hero be dressed in Roman clothes? This questionwas never satisfactorily overcome, except perhaps in J-L David's paintings such as Portrait of Madame

    Recamier(1800, Louvre).

    Most of the subject matter of neoclassicism painting was furnished by the history and mythology of

    ancient Greece and Rome, as it appeared in poetry by Homer, Virgil, and Ovid; plays by Aeschylus,Sophocles, and Euripides; and historical accounts by Pliny, Plutarch, Tacitus, and Livy. Of these works,

    the single most important source was the Greek writer Homer, author of Iliad and Odyssey in the 8/9thcentury BCE. Other subjects included events from medieval history, works by Dante, and a deep

    appreciation for Gothic art.

    Neoclassicism Versus Romanticism

    For much of the period 1790-1840, Neoclassicism coexisted happily with the opposing tendencyofRomanticism. This was because - far from being opposites - these two styles are ideologically close to

    one another. Historical or mythological compositions are typically based on inspirational events whichcan so easily be cast in a romantic or emotional light. The dividing line between the two can therefore be

    quite blurred, as shown by the following paintings: The Death of General Wolfe (1770, National Galleryof Canada, Ottowa) by Benjamin West; Napoleon Crossing the Alps (1801, Louvre) by J-L David; Raft of

    the Medusa (1819, Louvre) by Theodore Gericault; and TheDeath of Sardanapalus (1827, Louvre)by Eugene Delacroix. The first two belong to the Neoclassical school, the others to Romanticism, but the

    differences are minimal.
