{wiki=Neoclassicism}
Neoclassicism is an artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in the mid-18th century and lasted into the early 19th century, characterized by a revival of classical styles and principles derived from ancient Greek and Roman art, literature, and culture. The movement arose as a reaction against the ornate and elaborate style of Baroque and Rococo art, emphasizing simplicity, symmetry, proportion, and rationality.
