Neo Classicism and Romanticism
NEO CLASSICISM

- took inspo from Roman classical sculptures
- Used as propaganda for the french revolution
- Jacque-Louis David was the dictator of art
- Composition was geomoetric and based off of geometric shapes like triangles
and rectangles
- Art logical and moralising in character
- Subject matter was stoic figures who were always serious
- Colours have heavy contrasts between light and dark
- Shapes had bold outlines and looked almost sculpted




1. Jacque-Louis David
1. The Death Of Marat - Was to pay respects to a journalist who was apart
of the revolution, Marat. He died undignified death as he was stabbed in his
bathtub, so through David's art style of calmness and seriousness, he dignified
him.
He had a skin condition that caused him to only feel relieved by taking a
bath. David potrayed him as calm and serene in facial expression eventhough his
death was so violent. His face is illuminated by a light that symbolises how david
saw him as holy and pure. Purity is also symbolised through the white cloth that
drapes into his bathtub and is wrapped around his head as white symbolises
purity. To further emphasise how david saw him as this saint in the revolution,
the wrap around his head acts as a depiction of a halo, while the way his arm is
stretched out is similar to Michaelangelo's painting Christ. The colours are
sombre as they are comprised of browns, ochres, and olive greens. The
background is very dark which creates spacial depth. There are many geometric
lines that run through the painting and the painting can be divided into three
parts, one by the ground, one by the bathtub, and another by his head. The knife
used to kill him is isolated on bottom left side of the artwork.
