What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary due to the selection of artwork. Neoclassicism, or "new classicism," is an 18th- and 19th-century movement in art and architecture that looked to the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome for inspiration. Neoclassical art emphasized order, restraint, and clarity. Jacques Louis David was an influential painter in the Neoclassical style and became a supporter of the French Revolution. His style of painting revealed an intellectual approach to depict the political events and people of the Revolution.
