‘Although many of the concepts of Neoclassicism were a continuation of earlier academic theories* – especially the admiration for antiquity & the emphasis laid on idealization – on the important question of Gothic & Quattrocento** art, the Neoclassicists diverged markedly from their predecessors. They made an important contribution to the reevaluation of Gothic & early Renaissance art.’
