What is it like to appreciate classical paintings?

Classical painting takes this spirit as its connotation, advocating elegant and sublime subject matter, solemn and simple form, emphasizing rationality and despising emotion, emphasizing sketching and rigorous appearance while devaluing the expression of color and brushstrokes, and pursuing the balance and integrity of composition.

Classical works produce a quiet and austere beauty of antiquity. In terms of technique, classical painting emphasizes precise sketching techniques and soft light and dark tones, and pays attention to making the image shape present a sculptural conciseness and generalization, pursuing a grand composition and solemn style and spirit.

On the one hand, neoclassicism emphasizes the need to revive the taste of antiquity, especially the solemn, solemn, beautiful and elegant art forms of the ancient Greco-Roman era.

Painting is also divided into secular, religious, court, individual high-level artists, and other aesthetic systems, which is similar to the classification of classical Chinese painting, calligraphy and literature. This requires the modern viewer to first establish his own aesthetic interests, without which we will be dizzy when appreciating and learning the classics. The cultivation of this authentic taste is mainly used in homeschools and museums.

Its aesthetic principle is to use ancient artistic ideals and norms to express realistic moral concepts, and to express contemporary ideological themes with typical historical events, that is, to use the past as a metaphor for the present.

Neoclassicism is not only manifested in fine arts, but also in literature and **, and its rise in France has its own special background of the times.

Classical painting strongly opposed the Baroque and Rococo art styles advocated by aristocratic society, and neoclassicism was different from the classicism that prevailed in the 17th century, which excluded the abstract and detached concept of absolute beauty and the impoverished and fleshless artistic image.

The different representations of the same subject in the landscape are not really a hint of the end result of thinking about the material and time, but rather a real reminder of how passion can be expressed in different works of art. It is not realistic but logical, there is a theme but not sensationalism, and it is excited but sensible.

I think that if it is not nature or obvious beauty, then we can also feel another kind of "beauty" by observing the daily life and appreciating the attitude and thinking of the painter, whether it is balanced or sharp, quiet or noisy, enlightening or describing the everyday.

Taking ancient beauty as a model and drawing nourishment from real life, it respects nature and pursues truth, as well as a preference for ancient scenes, showing a yearning and nostalgia for ancient civilizations.
