Lecturer:- Zerihun Abebe (Msc in conservation of urban and Architectural heritage)
 Reaction, counter reaction, reaction
 Three movements to note:
 Neoclassicism – reaction to baroque and rococo –
trying to bring back the simpler styles and “pure”
ideals of the Classical era (and Renaissance)
 Romanticism – reaction to materialism and focus on
religion and wealth – an attempt to focus on the
individual, nature, and feelings – also to glorify
revolution and social change
 Realism – reaction to social inequality – trying to
show the reality of human life and lower classes
- This was a revival of the styles and spirit of
classic antiquity (Ancient Greece and Rome)
- This movement in art, design and literature
reflected the developments in philosophy and
other areas of the Age of Enlightenment
- Artists and philosophers were reacting against
the EXCESS of the Baroque and especially the
Rococo style
 Artists felt that the Rococo age was just TOO
MUCH and that they should look back to
classical antiquity for the simplicity and
balance they desired
 Also made artworks in which Classical subjects
taught a moral lesson that they felt people
needed to see.

De Verninac, Jacques-Louis David
 Reaction against excess / consumption of the
Rococo
 Admiration of Ancient Greek and Roman style
 Use of columns, mythical creatures, heroes of
the past
 Idea that the past was a purer, more moral,
more “ideal” time
 The American Revolution – 1776
 The French Revolution – 1789
 Napoleon Crowned emperor of France – 1803
 Haitian Revolution – 1789-1804 (first successful
Slave revolt)
- triumph of individualism and the emotions
- Occurs after the French Revolution
- emphasis on nature as symbolic of emotional life
- The “romantic hero”
- Celebration of rebellion against authority,
individual freedom
- Celebration of personal expression

Napoleon at St. Bernard’s Pass
1800

 Often what ties these together is the approach,
rather than the style
 Subject matter has to do with the individual,
with emotions, with real historical events
 We can often recognize dramatic skies as a
common element
