Neoclassic Culture
Art- Neoclassical paintings and sculptures reflect strongly the Greek and Roman classical heritage from which it derives its name. Figures wore draped robes and architecture is reminiscent of the temples of ancient Greece. There was a reintroduction of the Greek classical orders (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian). There was an emphasis on dignity, restraint and grandeur of scale. Artist and architects of the era- Jacques-Louis David, Claude Nicolas Ledoux, Robert Adam, John Nash, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres Religion- As in all things, neoclassicism favoured restraint in religion. The methodist church found favour. Man was viewed as inherently sinful Gender roles- In general in neoclassicism predates the acceptance of women as authors, poets and painters or performing artists. In contrast to the flamboyance of dress predating neoclassicism, there was a return to draped, simple garments of gauze or muslin cut close to the body. There was a more austere social outlook. There was a search for a moral Utopia with aesthetic models of perfection from the ancient world

Neoclassic Art

Romantic: Culture
Art- Depicted scenes from mythical lore and fantasy. Characterized by dramatic subject matter and passionate use of colour. Unrestrained technique. Inspired by nature in all its glory A few artists of the era- Francisco Goya, J.M.W turner, John Constable, Thomas Gainsborough, William Blake Religion- Where in the recent past, Christianity had been relegated to the bourgeoisie, during the romantic era Christianity made a return in the higher echelons of society. There was a rebellion against organised religion, in spite of this, the masses remained steadfast in their beliefs. There was a need to explore beyond the dictates of commonly held religious beliefs Gender roles- It was during this period that women authors, artists and composers gained recognition and acceptance as purveyors of the creative arts. Female writers such as Emily Dickinson were for the first time able to express their views.

Mary Wallenstonecroft said that the denial of education of women was tantamount to the denial of person-hood. She attacked society for the definition of females as innately emotional, intuitive and illogical and incapable of rational understanding and put forward the notion that if women were to be held morally and legally responsible for their actions, they must be considered capable of rational thought.
