Origins and History

Contemporary Classicism Paintings originated in the late 20th century as a response to the dominance of abstract and conceptual art. This movement seeks to revive the aesthetics and techniques of the classical art of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the Renaissance and Baroque eras. Key figures in this movement include Jacob Collins, Steven Assael, and Odd Nerdrum. The Contemporary Classicism movement has gained popularity in recent years, with exhibitions and galleries dedicated to this style of art. These paintings are known for their emphasis on realism, beauty, and traditional techniques such as chiaroscuro and glazing. Critics have questioned the relevance of this movement in contemporary art, but its proponents argue that it represents a return to timeless values and a rejection of the fleeting trends of modernity.
