Neoclassicism: Neoclassicism is the name given to Western movements in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theater, music, and architecture that draw inspiration from the “classical” art and culture of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome.
Battle paintings were increasingly produced for large public buildings and grew larger than ever before.
Buildings typically had simple timber frames and box-like constructions, veneered in expensive mahogany that was imported from the newly-acquired colonies. Inspiration for architectural designs drew heavily on symbols and ornaments borrowed from the ancient Greek and Roman empires.
