Neoclassicism
Neoclassicism was an art movement closely associated with the era beginning from the end of the 17th century through the 18th-century. The Neoclassicism art movement came from a combination of the last half of Baroque art to the burgeoning scientific interest in classical Greek and Roman antiquity (Sayre, 2010). This new found art of Neoclassicism led to the cause in a rapid growth of collections of antiques (Sayre, 2010).

Furthermore, neoclassical artists were not known to have incorporated gestures and emotions in images within their artworks (Sayre, 2010). For example, this is visible in a piece of artwork from the Neoclassicism movement known as The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries. The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries is an astonishing piece of artwork by neoclassical artist Jacques Louis David in 1812. This particular piece of artwork was originally painted on a canvas with oil (National Gallery of Art, 2009). In addition, this particular painting portrays a portrait of three subjects also known as that of Napoleon, soldier, emperor, and administrator (National Gallery of Art, 2009). This paintings style and technique are typical to that of the neoclassicism movement, in which virtue has been reinforced by simple lines, and where color helps to enhance moral perfection along with measure and proportions. Furthermore, the artist here as accomplished a sense of order and harmony as well as perfection, in the painting of the Emperor Napoleon.
