Neoclassicism
Neoclassicism (also spelled Neo-classicism) 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. Neoclassicism was born in Rome largely thanks to the writings of Johann Joachim Winckelmann, at the time of the rediscovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum, but its popularity spread all over Europe as a generation of European art students finished their Grand Tour and returned from Italy to their home countries with newly rediscovered Greco-Roman ideals. The main Neoclassical movement coincided with the 18th-century Age of Enlightenment, and continued into the early 19th century, laterally competing with Romanticism. In architecture, the style continued throughout the 19th, 20th and up to the 21st century. European Neoclassicism in the visual arts began c. 1760 in opposition to the then-dominant Rococo style. Rococo architecture emphasizes grace, ornamentati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Palazzo Zagnoni, also known as Palazzo Spada, is a Neoclassic-style palace located on Via Castiglione 25–27, in Bologna, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. History The palace was originally built by the senatorial Ariosti family, who resided here starting in 1414. The place was reconstructed in 1540. In 1706, the palace was acquired by Giuseppe Maria Zagnoni, whose family lived in the adjacent structure. To his properties were added the houses of Cavazza and Poeti. In 1756 the marchese Antonio, son of Giuseppe Maria, obtained permission from the Senate to substitute the wooden pilasters with a stone portico. This work proceeded until 1764, when the son of Antonio, Giuseppe, commissioned the present Neoclassic facade from Francesco Tadolini. The casa Cavazza and casa Poeti maintained their facades. After the Napoleonic convulsions, the Zagnoni were forced to sell may properties and the impressive Zagnoni collection of art was mostly sold in the 19th century. The interior deco ...

Palazzo Bonasoni, Bologna
The Palazzo Bonasoni is a Renaissance-style palace in Via Galliera 21 in central Bologna, Italy. It stands across the street from the Palazzo Felicini. The site with prior homes belonged originally to the Caccianemici dall’Orso family. By the mid-16th century, it was acquired by the rising nobleman Galeazzo Bonasoni.

Previously parts of the palace had been frescoed by Mitelli and Bigari, but the works are now lost. It still retains a 16th-century fresco, somewhat damaged, which has been variously at ...

19th-century Italian Painters
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the large ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
