La peinture du Néoclassicisme à l'Art pompier: 1750-1880. Pratique To explore urban worldsNeoclassicism is characterized by a return to ancient aesthetics and values. In the 19th century, the academic system established by Louis XIV continued to manipulate art. This dominant aesthetic, where accuracy must follow the profusion of details and an immense richness of palette, very early earned him the pejorative term "pompier". This richly illustrated book offers you a selection of the most beautiful paintings from Neoclassicism to Pompier Art.
