Neoclassicism
CURATED COLLECTIONThis collection holds paintings and drawings produced under the revival of classical antiquity that dominated European art from the later eighteenth century into the early nineteenth. The rediscovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum, along with a deliberate reaction against the perceived frivolity of Rococo, pushed artists toward austere composition, clear outline and morally serious subject matter drawn from Greek and Roman history. Jacques-Louis David and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres are central figures of the style, producing history paintings and portraits built on classical proportion and restrained colour. The works here show classical learning translated directly into visual discipline.
