13. Neoclassicism history Age of Enlightenment – people began to question everything. i.e. Do Kings get their “power” from God? If no, then who gives them this power? Can the same thing take that power away? Enlighten – to shed light on something; to make it clear. The scientific revolution , also happening at this time, was based on empirical observation, changing the way people thought and what they decided to believe in. There was a return to classical Greek and Roman ideas. These thoughts and ideas were important in both the French and American revolutions. When have we seen this return to classical thought before?? Art was "to make virtue attractive, vice odious, ridicule forceful; that is the aim of every honest man who takes up the pen, the brush or the chisel.” Denis Diderot

14. Neoclassicism A visual expression of the ideas of  the Enlightenment Neoclassical painters rejected both the high drama and murky atmosphere of Baroque art and the misty-sentimentality of the Rococo

Drawing was more important than painting. Smooth – no obvious brushstrokes. Serious – art with a purpose. Artists Jacques-Louis David Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres William-Adolphe Bouguereau

16. Jacques-Louis David The Oath of Horatii Jacque Louis David’s painting tells a story about the founding of Rome, and emphasizes the idea of self-sacrifice for the state . The rigid outlines of the men’s forms express their serious purpose, in contrast to the soft, “wilting” forms of the women -expressing the emotion of the scene . David’s work was seen as a condemnation of the Rococo style and of the regime that supported it
