Neoclassicism(sometimes rendered as Neo-Classicism or Neo-classicism)
The name given to quite distinct movements in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and architecture that draw upon Western classical art and culture (usually that of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome).
These movements were dominant during the mid 18th to the end of the 19th century.
This article addresses what these "neoclassicisms" have in common.
