Neoclassicism
Neoclassicism is the name given to movements in the arts that draw upon Western classical art and culture (usually that of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome[1]). Traditionally, Classicism is about the art made in antiquity (very long ago, in ancient times) or to later art inspired by that of antiquity.[1] But Neoclassicism is always about the art made later but inspired by antiquity.[1] So, Classicism and Neoclassicism are often used together. It often means clearness, elegance, harmony, and rest made by careful attention to traditional forms.
