Understanding the styles of art: Neoclassical

Learning how to recognize the styles of art helps students apply their knowledge to new works of art. Once we understand what makes a work of art fit within a style, we can identify and categorize other works that fit that style as well. Learning dates and names of key works may be important, but the broader understanding is enduring.
Each video will present at least 3 facts about each style or "School" of art. More information and resources can be found on the author's blog at www.Artedguru.com

Very good video I want to be able to learn to replicate this kind of style for myself and this helped me understand some very specific things to study like geometric art, rigidity, heavy symbolism (though that can be said about a lot of styles 😆), and hardening back to Greco-Roman styles.

Im going to use this video for my history class. Great explanation!

[@artedguru]

Thanks, make sure you contrast it with Rococo... the period this style is reacting to.

Can be noted that the version of the American flag in Washington Crosses the Delaware is historically incorrect. Should be the Grand Union Flag for that painting’s time period.

is the painting Helen Recognizing Telemachus by Jean-Jacques Lagrenée also neoclassical art?

[@artedguru]

Why do you doubt it? ;-) What part of Helen breaks the rules? Check the date too, that is a HUGE hint. As a teacher I don't like to "give" answers but help students "discover" the answers.

[@user-nn5rp7jw2h]

@@artedguru it was painted during the height of neoclassicism. The subject matter, the tight/clean brushstrokes and the sober colours make it very much neoclassical. What do you mean with what part of Helen breaks the rule?

Unlike polyptychs, the narrative here is contained in a single frame. Something here reminds me of street murals.

I’m sorry, but I’m dying from the fact that somebody called this art “emo”
