NEOCLASSICISM (1780-1850)*

‘The great surge of Neoclassicism in the mid-eighteenth century is partly a reaction against the Baroque & Rococo styles, but even more it is the result of new archaeological excavations and the published engravings of discoveries. In the very year after the Herculaneum fresco of the "Seller of the Cupids" was published as an engraving, the French painter Joseph-Marie Vien used it as the basis for a painting of the same subject (1762[ce]:** Fontainebleau).
