We started by discussing the enlightenment and how it led to a revival in classical ideas and art, specifically logic and morality. We first looked at Anton Raphael Mengs&#8217; <em>Parnassus<\/em>, which depicts Apollo at the top of Parnassus surrounded by the Muses. The structure and symmetry of the painting links to a similar one done by Raphael for the Vatican, and shows a shift from Rococo. We then looked at architecture of the period, such as Lord Burlington and William Kent&#8217;s Chiswick House. The architecture of the house resembles a 16th century Palladian villa, which was derived from the Pantheon. The house is characterized by it&#8217;s use of basic geometric shapes and the familiarity with ancient architecture. While there was a shift away from the style of Rococo, some of its features are still found in examples of Neoclassicism. For example the colors used in Robert Adam&#8217;s Library in Kenwood House, or the painterly blend Thomas Gainsborough used in his <em>Portrait of Mrs. Richard Brimley Sheridan<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this class we discussed Neoclassicism.
