Academic Classicism

Academic classicism is also referred to as the Classical Revival, or Beaux-Arts Classicism (after the French Ecole des Beaux-Arts). From the 18th century, the Academic Classicism declined gradually, but until 50s of the 18th century, Neo-classical art began to spread in Europe and this art form continued its influence till the 19th century. We can say that Neo-classical art form was in accord with the Enlightenment and the rational times. Many great oil painting artists took part in the Enlightenment and the leaved many great painting arts for us. This period is best known for Aivazovsky paintings, Alexandre Cabanel and Fritz Zuber-Buhler.
