What Is Ancient Art?
The term ancient art refers to all the artistic movements that emerged before modern art, including the art of ancient Egypt, that of ancient Greece, and medieval art. One of the best known is classical art, which developed in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, more precisely between 1660 and 1715. Classical painting follows certain rules, including realism, figuration, and traditionalism, avoiding overly controversial subjects. The works of classical painters such as Raphael mostly depict subjects inspired by Greco-Latin mythology or Antiquity. Ancient art encompasses painting as well as sculpture and architecture. Highly influential in France, classical painting counts among its ambassadors artists such as Nicolas Poussin and Charles Le Brun.
