3RD QUARTER
ARTS 9
Neoclassicism and Romanticism were the
movements that spread in Western
Europe and the United States during the
Rococo era, lasting roughly from the late
18th to the 19th centuries
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” .
NEOCLASSICISM, 1780-1840

In decorative and visual arts, the Western trend that became popular from
1780 to 1840 was called Neoclassicism. It also refers to literature, theater,
music and architecture which were inspired by Ancient Greece and Rome’s
classical art and culture. This is also known as the Age of Enlightenment.
The revived interest in Greek and Roman classics has brought on the art
form in this time period. Neoclassical works of art such as paintings,
sculptures and architecture typically depicted Roman history that exalted the
ancient heroes.
ROMANTICISM, 1800-1810S

Romanticism was a trend that emphasized both the delicate and


stormy presentation of sentiments or emotions and individualism. The
subjects or art works promoted a variety of distinguishing concepts,
such as historical ambition, supernatural elements, social justice and
nature, with a preference for the medieval over the classical.
Landscape painting was also made more popular because of the
romantic adoration of nature by the inhabitants.
