neoclassical storm from 1755 to 1810 and contains over 400

Scholarly journal article
This
journal explains the impact that the neoclassical movement had at the
start of the 19th
century and features of neoclassicism brought to western europe which
is described as the rebirth of antiquity. This has helped my study
in explaining the neoclassical period by demonstrating examples of
the rebuild of modern athens and which is considered a very
significant achievement in neoclassical architecture.

This
book is primarily about architecture and has emphasized the
importance of the french theory of rationality, in architecture, in
the 1800's, and also contains information on english architecture.
This has helped in my study by expanding my view of different
architectural styles throughout the nineteenth century in France and
England.

Website
This
website consists of the influence of classical greek and roman
architecture in neoclassical design, neoclassical assumptions and
their implications, social themes, and the idea that reason should
guide people to create designs logically. This website has been
useful for my study as it has given me a better view on the ideas of
neoclassicism.

Image
This
image is of the
L'église
de la Madeleine based on
Maison
du Caree at Nimes, the ancient temple. It was commissioned by
Napoleon
Bonaparte
in 1806 to commemorate and glorify the achievements of Napoleons
great army. We can tell this is a neoclassical design because of the
precise straight lines, tall columns and triangular pediment which
hint to democratic empowerment. This helped to uniform society with a
strict hierarchy. This helped to further my understanding of the
styles renaissance in the nineteenth century.
