neo-classicism
Greco-Roman artistic return
Neo-classicism is a revival of classical Greek and Roman artistic principles, emphasizing order, symmetry, and restraint.
The term usually refers to the 18th-century movement in art, architecture, and literature that rejected Baroque excess in favor of ancient ideals: Neo-classicism dominated European architecture after 1750.
In music, it describes the early 20th-century reaction against Romantic emotionalism, particularly in Stravinsky's work.
