What is referred to as “neoclassical” art is as complex as its era, for it developed as Europe was undergoing major changes. Arising from a desire for aesthetic and moral reform upheld by philosophers since the mid-18th century, it drew on the sources of Greco-Roman Antiquity that was considered an ideal model again, but that was also made more familiar with the emergence of archaeology.
