The enlightenment lead to "Neoclassical" styles, Neo meaning new and Classical refering to a style used by Greece and Rome way back when. These paintings were much more simpler in comparison to baroque works.
This was also the time that Classical Music began, which was considered lighter and more elegant than that of a previous time. Composers such as Bach and Handel who had dominated the previous era were quickly replaced by enlightenment period musicians such as Mozart and Beethoven.
