The inspiration for this movement comes from thr classical art and culture of ancient Greece or ancient Rome. Neoclassic Artwork is very unemotional. In this type of artwork, artists or painters used very sombre or dull colors. Often artists that painted in the Neoclassical style painted historical figures or people in classic history. Artwork of this style was very detailed and defined as well as accurate to the era they were representing. Neoclassical Art is very personal and honorable. All of this is reflected brilliantly in the piece “The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries” by Jaques Louis David.
