Abstract

When people asked for the natural human rights, an unprecedented revolutionary movement happened in France in the late eighteenth century, and it had a profound impact on the history and culture of the whole world. Art has also been changed and developed in this historical moment, among which neoclassicism is one of the most representative artistic trends. The neoclassical movement took place before the political and social revolution of the French Revolution. Neoclassicism is the revival of ancient Greek art and ancient Rome art, and it pursues the solemnity, elegance, beauty and quietness of classical style. Its existence is against and criticizes Baroque art and Rococo art embodying the spirit of feudal aristocracy.
