UNDERSTAND
ARTS AND ARTIST OF THE NEOCLASSICAL PERIOD

NEOCLASSICISM (1780-1840)

The word neoclassic came from the Greek word Neos 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. 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.

Neoclassicism is the renewed interest in classical ideals and forms that influenced Europeans and
Americans. It also refers to the art forms created after but inspired from the ancient times.

Neoclassical art pieces such as paintings, sculpture, and architecture generally portrayed Roman
history which elevated Roman heroes.

Characteristics of Neoclassical Arts includes:

• The portrayal of Roman history

• emphasis on mythology
• formal compositions
• use of diagonals to show peak of emotion or movement
• use of local colors
• overall lighting
• classic geo-structure.

The compositions of neoclassical arts are a lot structured. Generally, visual arts such as paintings
delivers a moral message such as self- sacrifice or martyrdom, love for people and patriotism.

This art movement shows little interest in showcase of themes or subjects related to religion,

sensuality, passion, and love as this period was a period of enlightenment. It aims to show what is
happening in the society – the politics around them.

What is the difference between Neoclassicism and Classicism?

Neoclassicism:
This is the revived interest in classical ideals and forms that influenced European and American
society through thought, politics and fine arts during the 18th and 19th century. It refers to the art forms
created after but inspired by ancient time. This period is derived from the Classicism movement.

Classicism:
This is the period in which Greek and Roman principles and styles were reflected in society.

NEOCLASSICAL ARTISTS AND PAINTINGS

Neoclassical artists embraced the ideals of order and moderation in which artistic interpretations of
classic Greek and Roman history were restored to realistic portrayals. Neoclassical painters give great
importance about the costumes, settings, and details of classical subject-matter without adding
distracting details but with as much historical accuracy as possible.

JACQUES-LOUIS DAVID
(1748-1825) France

Jacques-Louis David is an influential French painter in the Neoclassical style

and considered to be the pre-eminent painter of the era. His subjects of

NEOCLASSICAL ARTIST AND SCULPTURES

The Neoclassical period was one of the greatest ages of public sculptures. Artists looked to Roman
styles during the time of Alexander the Great for inspiration as well as to mimic their styles.

Neoclassical sculptures assumed life-size to monumental scale and focused on themes of heroism,
patriotism, and virtue. The subject of neoclassical sculptures ranged from mythological figures to
heroes of the past to major contemporary personages.

EOCLASSICAL ARTISTS AND ARCHITECTURES

Neoclassical architectural styles started in the mid-18th century. It turned away from the grandeur
of Rococo style and the Late Baroque. In its purest form, neoclassical architecture was a style
principally derived from the architecture of Classical Greece and Rome and the architectural designs of
the Italian architect Andre Palladio.

TYPES OF NEOCLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE

TEMPLE STYLE

Temple style building features a design based on an ancient temple. These buildings were
uncommon during the Renaissance; architects of that period focused mainly on applying classical
elements to churches and modern buildings like palazzos and villas.
Many temple style buildings feature a peristyle (a continuous line of columns around a building), a rare
feature of Renaissance architecture.

Most famous Temple Style buildings of the

Neoclassical age:

1. Panthéon, Paris, by Jacques-Germain Soufflot

PALLADIAN STYLE

Palladian building is based on Andrea Palladio’s style of villa construction. Some of the buildings
feature a balustrade which is a railing with vertical supports along the edge of the roof.

There are vertical supports within a balustrade known as “balusters” or spindles”. It is also a
classical method of crowning a building that has a flat or low-lying roof.

ROBERT ADAM
(1728-1792) Britain

He is the most famous Palladian architect of the Neoclassical who designed

many fine country houses. The White Houses and the United States
Capitol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_
Adam

The most famous of all Palladian buildings are two American civic buildings designed by Robert
Adam:

1. White House
2. United States Capitol
These mansions illustrate that while Palladian architecture shares certain basic features, (derived
from the villas of Palladio) it takes diverse forms.

CLASSICAL BLOCK STYLE

The building features a rectangular or square plan, with a flat (or roof and an exterior rich in
classical detail. The exterior features a repeated classical pattern or series of arches and/or columns.
The overall impression of such a building is a huge, classically decorated rectangular block.

Classical block aesthetic is also known as “Beaux-Arts style” since it was developed principally by
the French École des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts).

Classical block architecture also flourished in the United States, particularly in New York.
Architects:

1. HENRI LABROUSTE –
his masterpiece is the Library of Sainte
-Geneviève.

NEOCLASSICISM IN THE PHILIPPINES

Neoclassicism in the Philippines gained a momentum in the latter part of the 19 th century. One of
the best examples is the Facade of the Don Roman Santos in Escolta, fronting Plaza Lacson used to be
called Plaza Goiti. The building has a pediment and frieze typical of classical architecture. The arches
and pediments fulfill a more ornamental than structural purpose-they cannot bear structural weight and
they only serve to ornament as a tribute to classicism. One of the Neoclassical structures in the
Philippines is the former Senate Hall that is now the National Museum of the Philippines. Inside the
National Art Gallery are arches and columns reminiscent of Neoclassical structures in Europe. The
sculpture of Venus by Guillermo Tolentino also demonstrates the enduring legacy of Neoclassicism in
the Philippines, does an aesthetic that the Filipino sculptor learned in his studies in Italy. Sculptures
displayed a mathematical proportion; the classic contrapposto pose and restrained emotions.
