‘Simplicity* (which neither Winckelmann nor other writers precisely define) and linearity** are the principal characteristics of Neoclassical art. These two characteristics appear at their most extreme in the outline engravings published *** from the 1780's [ce] on. In 1785[ce] Volpato & Morghen published engravings of antique statues in outlines, with hardly any shading.
