- I have selected Neoclassical architecture to be the inspiration of my artwork, which stemmed from the Neoclassical art period, and the beginning of neoclassical art was witnessed in the middle of the 18th century, and as of the literal definition of the word, it means revival of the old past which in this case was the classical art. In addition to most art periods of that time it was centralized in Europe but the Neoclassical period spread around the world as a global art movement. This also marked a time in art history when artists began to imitate Greek and Roman antiquity , which fueled artistic fascination and curiosity for antiquity, and artists began to use this new knowledge of the past in their art, creating their own “new” classical…
