Neoclassicism

Neoclassicism is an 18th-century art movement that revived the ideals of classical antiquity, emphasizing harmony, order, and rational beauty. Inspired by the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, Neoclassical artists sought to return to clarity of form, moral seriousness, and restrained elegance in reaction to the ornate excesses of the Baroque and Rococo periods.

Visually, Neoclassical art features precise lines, smooth surfaces, balanced compositions, and often depicts heroic, historical, or mythological subjects rendered with calm dignity. Key figures include Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and Antonio Canova.

In modern and AI-generated contexts, Neoclassicism lends a timeless, refined aesthetic—ideal for projects that aim to evoke structure, nobility, and intellectual grace through classical forms and disciplined design.
