Neoclassicism
"Neoclassicism" --> "New Classic" [borrowed traits from Classical Greek and Roman art] --> "idealism" --> healthy people, figures that look like statues, Roman stories depicted in paintings
Jacques Louis David -> Artist of "Oath of Horatii (shown on the right) --> Roman story of two families who are friends but live in cities at war with one another
Was the movement during the French Revolition
5
Romanticism
An art period that was a direct response to neoclassicism --> artists wanted to show more drama and emotion (instead of the "ideal/perfect" and "unmoving" neoclassic paintings)
Human figures in Romantic works were often posed mid-motion, like they were in the middle of an adventure --> sometimes shown as sick, with imperfect bodies, etc.
