From the late 18th century to the early 19th century, Neoclassicism replaced
roman art and remained dominant ever since.
During this time,France
became the birthplace of western culture & art center and major genres of
western modern art.
Since some important painters were all in France, the
development of art in France became the mainstream of European art.
Broadly speaking, classical art is characterized by ancient Greek and Roman
art with a strong focus on respect and imitation.
In the art history of European
art, there had been several “revival” of ancient art movements.
The first
referred to Renaissance, and the second was specified as “classical” art that
happened in France in 17th century and was featured by academic art and its
artistic thought represented by Poussin.
Neoclassical thought which was
popular in France from the late 18th to the early 19th century is called
neoclassicism.
