During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the term "classical" typically refers to the revival and admiration of ancient Greek and Roman culture, particularly in literature, art, and philosophy. This period, often associated with the Enlightenment, emphasized reason, order, and harmony, drawing inspiration from classical ideals of beauty and aesthetics. It also influenced various movements, including neoclassicism in art and architecture, which sought to emulate the styles and principles of antiquity.
The two peak periods were the renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries and the neo-classical period of the 18th and 19th century.
classical
The age of ancient history dominated by the cultures of Greece and Rome [Mediterranean], from about the 8th century B.C.E. to about A.D. 500.
Historians consider the Renaissance the beginning of modern history because it marked a significant cultural and intellectual revival in Europe, emphasizing humanism, individualism, and a renewed interest in classical antiquity. This period fostered advancements in art, science, and literature, laying the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. Additionally, the Renaissance challenged traditional authority and encouraged critical thinking, ultimately shaping the modern worldview. These transformations set the stage for the significant social, political, and economic changes that followed in the subsequent centuries.
The renaissance was a rebirth of interest in the classics (the Greeks and Romans). Painting, sculpture and architecture were inspired by them and the reading of classical literature was fashionable. Greek philosophy has always been influential in western Europe. It influenced the Romans, the Catholic Church and scholars in the Middle Ages and beyond. It has been said that the history of European philosophy until the 19th century was like a continuous rewriting of Plato. For centuries the study of the classic was standard in the education of the European elites.
