Neoclassicism
Neoclassicism was a Western cultural movement in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and architecture that drew inspiration from the art and culture of classical antiquity. Neoclassical architecture is based on the principles of simplicity and symmetry, which were seen as virtues of the arts of Rome and Ancient Greece. Decorative techniques employed in the style include low frieze-like relief, medallions, vases, busts and bucrania suspended on swags of laurel or ribbon, with slender arabesques against backgrounds.
