Neoclassicism history Age of Enlightenment people began to question everything.
i.e. Do Kings get their power from God? If no, then who gives themthis power? Can the same thing take that power away?
Enlighten to shed light on something; to make it clear.
The scientific revolution, also happening at this time, was
based on empirical observation, changing the way people
thought and what they decided to believe in.
There was a return to classical Greek and Roman ideas.
These thoughts and ideas were important in both the French
and American revolutions.
When have we seen this return to classical thought before??
Art was "to make virtue attractive, vice odious, ridicule
forceful; that is the aim of every honest man who takes up the
pen, the brush or the chisel. Denis Diderot
