The Late 18th Century (roughly 1775-1800) was a pivotal period in art history, a time of profound social, political, and intellectual upheaval that dramatically reshaped artistic expression. As the Age of Enlightenment reached its zenith and the echoes of revolution reverberated across continents, artists moved away from the ornate frivolity of Rococo towards more serious, often morally uplifting, and historically significant themes. This era saw the rise of Neoclassicism, a powerful return to the classical ideals of ancient Greece and Rome, emphasizing order, clarity, and heroic virtue. It was a period where art became a vehicle for grand narratives, civic duty, and profound human emotion, laying the groundwork for the Romantic movement that would soon follow.
