A movement that emerged in [[Rome]] and [[Paris]] in the mid-18th century, reviving the ideals of classical Greek and Roman art—order, symmetry, clarity, and moral virtue. Key figures include [[Jacques-Louis David]], [[Antonio Canova]], and [[Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres]]. It arose as a reaction against the perceived frivolity of the [[Rococo]], fueled by Enlightenment rationalism and the archaeological rediscovery of [[Pompeii]] and [[Herculaneum]], and was later succeeded by [[Romanticism]].
