Contrasting with the Baroque and the Rococo, Neoclassicism oil paintings are devoid of pastel colors and haziness; instead, they have sharp colors with Chiaroscuro. In the case of Neoclassicism in France, a prime example is Jacques Louis David whose oil paintings often use Greek elements to extoll the French Revolution's virtues (state before family).
The high tide of neoclassicism in painting is exemplified in early oil paintings by Jacques-Louis David and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' entire career. David'" Oath of the Horatii" was painted in Rome and made a splash at the Paris Salon of 1784. Its central perspective is perpendicular to the picture plane, made more emphatic by the dim arcade behind, against which the heroic figures are disposed as in a frieze, with a hint of the artificial lighting and staging of opera, and the classical coloring of Nicholas Poussin. |
