Neoclassical Wall Art

Neoclassical wall art is order, marble and clear light. Reacting against the froth of the Rococo, the neoclassical painters of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries went back to Greece and Rome for their subjects and their discipline: David and Ingres on the historical set piece, Alma-Tadema and Godward on the sunlit terrace and the draped figure, Leighton on the classical body at rest. The drawing is exact, the colour is restrained, and the compositions are built on straight lines and calm symmetry. That makes them unusually easy to hang: they settle a room rather than compete with it. Museum-quality framed giclee canvas in gold, silver, or dark bronze, made to order.
