ARTS OF THE NEOCLASSIC AND

ROMANTIC PERIODS
BEGIN

INTRODUCTION

During the 18th century, a new movement swept through Europe and created a
radical change in politics, science, and art. The Age of Enlightenment was partially a
reaction to the Industrial Revolution, as the world witnessed the importance of
technological innovation for the advancement of humankind. This age of reason and
enlightened thinking dominated Europe, inevitably birthing two important eras in
philosophy and visual art. Neoclassicism and Romanticism competed side by side,
bringing creatives together to express emotion as well as a love for the classics. While
Neoclassical art was more rooted in paying homage to classical Greco-Roman art, the
Romantic era placed the emphasis on encapsulating emotions like fear and horror in
visual form. You will learn about this as we go along with this Learning Guide.

KEEP IN THIS MIND

Neoclassicism, 1780 - 1840

The word neoclassic came from the Greek word neo meaning “new” and the Latin
word classicus which is similar in meaning to the English phrase “first class.”
The Western movement in decorative and visual arts was called Neoclassicism. It
also applies to literature, theater, music, and architecture that were influenced by the
Classical art and culture of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
The Neoclassical movement coincided with the 18th century Age of Reason also
known as the Age of Enlightenment. The art style in this period was brought about by the
renewed interest in Greek and Roman classics.
Neoclassical art pieces such as paintings, sculpture, and architecture generally
portrayed Roman history which elevated the Roman heroes.
Characteristics:

 portrayal of Roman history

 formal composition
 the use of diagonals to show the peak of an emotion or moment (versus a regular
moment)
 local color
 overall lightning
 classic geo-structure

Romanticism, 1800s – 1810s

Romanticism was a movement in which the artists of Neoclassical period sought to

break new ground in the expression of emotion, both subtle and stormy. It embraces a
number of distinctive themes, such as a longing for history, supernatural elements, social
injustices, and nature.
Landscape painting also became more popular sue to the peoples’ romantic
adoration of nature.

Romanticism was a reaction to the classical, contemplative nature of Neoclassical

pieces.

GOTHIC REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE (NEOGOTHIC)

Gothic Revival, also referred to as Victorian Gothic or Neo-Gothic, is an

architectural movement that began in the late 1740s in England. Many of Neogothic
buildings feature castellation in which the walls and towers are crenellated in imitation of
medieval castles. Indeed, heavily castellated Neogothic buildings have been often
referred to as “castles”, even though they never served as a defensive structure. Among
them was Strawberry Hill (demolished and restored), the most famous work of the
decorative phase of the Gothic Revival.
Gothic Revival became widely used for churches and civic buildings throughout the
West, especially in Britain and the United States. Bricks and stones were both commonly
used. Neo-classical and Romantic Artists
