Period
Neoclassical & Romantic
1750–1849
Two currents intertwined. Neoclassicism recalled the order and reason of antiquity in search of restrained beauty, while Romanticism answered with the power of emotion, nature, and imagination. Against an age of revolution, calm ideals and burning passion lived side by side.
