‘In this context Neoclassicism can be seen as a transitional phenomenon: contemporary uncertainty of faith & dramatic social and political changes experienced by 18th-century [ce] societies underlay much of the Neoclassical nostalgia for the simpler ideals of the pagan world. It is this sense of uncertainty and yearning for the past which, almost imperceptibly, introduces Romanticism into the heart of Neoclassical artistic inspiration.’
