About Victorian Neoclassicism
The European art movement called "neoclassicism" began in the 18th century as a reaction against Baroque and Rococo art and a return to the ideals of Roman and Greek art (as interpreted by these later European artists). Neo-classical paintings tend to have sharp colors and chiaroscuro, favor realism in portrayal, and often take their themes from classical literature and civilization, mythology, the Bible, and history. The artists featured on this CD worked during the end of this movement, during the Victorian era of the mid- to late-19th century.
The Victorian art-viewing public was generally well-educated in Greek and Roman scholarship, so these painters paid much attention to accurate details in their subject matter. They often studied architecture and archaeology as well as drawing and painting. They showed remarkable skill in painting beautifully draped fabrics, vivid flowers, dazzling Mediterranean sunlight and scenery, and reflective surfaces such as metal and marble. Alma-Tadema's meticulous research and detail actually led to his paintings being used as inspiration for Hollywood set designs for films such as Ben Hur, Cleopatra, The Ten Commandments, and even Gladiator!
The Victorian Neoclassicists were often influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite painters, especially in their vibrant colors and portrayal of beautiful women. Both movements were eclipsed by the rise of Impressionism, Fauvism and Cubism near the end of the 19th century. The Neoclassicists were widely scorned and neglected for decades, until a revival of interest in the 1970s which continues today.
The romantic, often serene, world of these paintings is idealized in subject matter while at the same time wonderfully realistic in detail.
