Nearly all Classical composers accepted the social and artistic restrictions of court employment. Mozart was one example of such a composer.

Classical realism is a combination of the 19th century's neoclassicism and realism, which was an artistic movement in the late 20th century focusing on skill and beauty.
The restrictions imposed by the Salon, particularly the conservative standards for accepted artwork, sparked a backlash among artists who sought greater artistic freedom. This discontent led to the formation of alternative exhibitions, most notably the Salon des Refusés in 1863, which showcased works rejected by the official Salon. These alternative venues allowed for the display of avant-garde and unconventional art, ultimately paving the way for modern art movements and the broader acceptance of diverse artistic expressions.
It depends on your opinion...like they say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Several artistic movements were closely based on Renaissance and Classical principles, including Neoclassicism and the Italian Baroque. Neoclassicism, emerging in the late 18th century, sought to revive the ideals of ancient Greece and Rome, emphasizing simplicity, symmetry, and moral virtue. The Italian Baroque, while more expressive and dramatic than the Renaissance, still drew on classical themes and techniques, showcasing grandeur and emotional intensity. Both movements reflect a deep appreciation for classical antiquity and its aesthetic values.
The Renaissance was a philosophical and artistic movement in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century that focused on a revival of interest in classical learning, science, and the arts. It emphasized humanism, individualism, and the exploration of the natural world through observation and experimentation.
