About Neo-Classical

Neoclassicism is a new revival of classical antiquity, linked, at least initially, to Enlightenment thought. Neo-Classical art followed Rococo and covered about a century from 1750 - 1850. [RA] {HI}
It was not a passing fad but became a way of life in revolutionary times. Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Socrates, 1793 is a good example of Neo-Classical art. Like all Neo-Classical art, The Death of Socrates reflected the issues of the time. [MH] {NR}
