Neoclassicism
It was an influential movement in painting. It lasted until the 1840's-50's. Some earliest Neoclassical painters were Joseph-Marie Vien, Anton Raphael Mengs, Pompeo
Batoni, Angelica Kauffmann, and Gavin Hamilton.
This image is an example of Neoclassicism. It is called," The Oath of the Horatii",which was painted by, Jacques-Louis David. The distance between the figures accentuates this contrast. This painting immediately became a huge success. It was made nearly 5 years before the Revolution and the painting reflects the feelings of the period.
Neoclassicism was against the Rococo style that had dominated the European art from the 1720's on. Neoclassicism was manifested in painting and wasn't different as the style from Rococo.
