More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The period of Neoclassicism in the visual arts was an age of Classical revival, drawing directly on antiquity itself. At a time when archaeologists were making fresh dicoveries and The Grand Tour of ancient sites in the Mediateranian was in vogue, Neoclassicism flourished and spread in all directions as far as St Petersburg, Philadelphia and Sydney. Neoclacissism was the favourite style of Napoleon and Thomas Jefferson and became the most pervasive stle in the history of European art. David Irwin's text provides insight into the richness and variety of the movement and embraces all manifestations of Neoclassicism from its broad territorial scope to its appeal for every branch of art.

excellent discussion

An excellent comprehensive and jargon free discussion which is very well illustrated. Probably the best introduction to Neoclassicism in the Arts.

The Allure of the Ancients, or Why We Study the Classics
18 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
Every time I come to get bummed out about the classics and the continuing attempt by college profs to remove it as far from everyday life as possible, I read this book, and then I'm as giddy as a school boy again, ready to tackle with enthusiasm Homer, Horace, and Lucan. This is a must for anyone, including those whose classical education consisted of only a mandatory perusal of The Odyssey in the 6th grade.
