The impetus for the development of classicist sculpture in the middle of the 18th century was the writings of Winckelmann and archaeological excavations ancient cities, which expanded the knowledge of contemporaries about ancient sculpture. In France, such sculptors as Pigalle and Houdon vacillated on the verge of Baroque and Classicism. Classicism reached its highest embodiment in the field of plastic art in the heroic and idyllic works of Antonio Canova, who drew inspiration mainly from the statues of the Hellenistic era (Praxiteles). In Russia, Fedot Shubin, Mikhail Kozlovsky, Boris Orlovsky, and Ivan Martos gravitated towards the aesthetics of classicism.

In Russia, classicism originated in the 18th century, after the reforms of Peter I. Lomonosov carried out a reform of Russian verse, developed the theory of “three calms,” which was essentially an adaptation of French classical rules to the Russian language. Images in classicism are deprived individual traits, since they are intended primarily to capture stable generic characteristics that do not pass over time, acting as the embodiment of any social or spiritual forces.

The images in classicism are devoid of individual features, since they are designed primarily to capture stable generic characteristics that do not pass over time, acting as the embodiment of any social or spiritual forces. Classicism in Russia developed under the great influence of the Enlightenment - the ideas of equality and justice have always been the focus of attention of Russian classic writers. Therefore, in Russian classicism, genres that require the author’s obligatory assessment of historical reality have received great development: comedy (D. I. Fonvizin), satire (A. D. Kantemir), fable (A. P. Sumarokov, I. I. Khemnitser), ode (Lomonosov, G. R. Derzhavin). V.L. Borovikovsky. Portrait of G.R. Derzhavina In connection with Rousseau’s call for closeness to nature and naturalness in classicism late XVI II century, crisis phenomena are growing; The absolutization of reason is replaced by the cult of tender feelings - sentimentalism. The transition from classicism to pre-romanticism was most clearly reflected in German literature the era of “Storm and Drang”, represented by the names of I. V. Goethe (1749-1832) and F. Schiller (1759-1805), who, following Rousseau, saw art main force human upbringing.

Classicism Classicism (French classicisme, from lat. classicus exemplary) artistic style and aesthetic direction in European art XVII XIX centuries. Classicism is based on the ideas of rationalism, which were formed simultaneously with those in the philosophy of Descartes. artwork, from the point of view of classicism, should be built on the basis of strict canons, thereby revealing the harmony and logic of the universe itself. Classicism is interested only in the eternal, the unchangeable; in each phenomenon it strives to recognize only essential, typological features, discarding random individual characteristics. The aesthetics of classicism attaches great importance to the social and educational function of art. Classicism takes many rules and canons from ancient art


Painting Interest in the art of ancient Greece and Rome appeared back in the Renaissance, which, after centuries of the Middle Ages, turned to the forms, motifs and subjects of antiquity. The greatest theorist of the Renaissance, Leon Batista Alberti, back in the 15th century. expressed ideas that foreshadowed certain principles of classicism and were fully manifested in Raphael’s fresco “The School of Athens” (1511). The systematization and consolidation of the achievements of the great artists of the Renaissance, especially the Florentine ones led by Raphael and his student Giulio Romano, formed the program of the Bolognese school of the late 16th century , the most typical representatives of which were the Carracci brothers. In their influential Academy of Arts, the Bolognese preached that the path to the heights of art lay through a scrupulous study of the heritage of Raphael and Michelangelo, imitation of their mastery of line and composition.

IN early XVII century, young foreigners flock to Rome to get acquainted with the heritage of antiquity and the Renaissance. The most prominent place among them was occupied by the Frenchman Nicolas Poussin, in his paintings, mainly on the themes of ancient antiquity and mythology, which provided unsurpassed examples of geometrically precise composition and thoughtful relationships between color groups. Another Frenchman, Claude Lorrain, in his antique landscapes of the environs of the “eternal city”, organized the pictures of nature by harmonizing them with the light of the setting sun and introducing peculiar architectural scenes. Jacques-Louis David. “The Oath of the Horatii” (1784) Poussin’s coldly rational normativism aroused the approval of the Versailles court and was continued by court artists like Lebrun, who saw the ideal in classicist painting artistic language to praise the absolutist state of the "sun king". Although private customers preferred various options Baroque and Rococo, the French monarchy kept classicism afloat by funding academic institutions such as the School fine arts.

Literature The aesthetics of classicism reflected the desire to idealize reality, due to the refusal to depict a complex and multifaceted reality. IN theater arts This direction established itself in the works of, first of all, French authors: Corneille, Racine, Voltaire, Moliere.

The pinnacle of classicism in tragedy were the works of the French poets P. Corneille (Cid, Horace, Nicomedes), who was called the father of French classical tragedy, and J. Racine (Andromache, Iphigenia, Phaedra, Athaliah). With their work, these authors caused heated debate during their lifetime over the incomplete observance of the rules regulated by classicism, but perhaps it was precisely the deviations that made the works of Corneille and Racine immortal. ABOUT French classicism in its best examples, A.I. Herzen wrote: “... a world that has its limits, its limitations, but also has its strength, its energy and high grace...”.

In comedies, compliance with the same canons was required. In the hierarchically ordered system of dramatic genres of classicism, comedy occupied the place of a low genre, being the antipode of tragedy. It was addressed to that sphere of human manifestations where reduced situations operated, the world of everyday life, self-interest, human and social vices reigned. The comedies of J.B.

Public monuments, which became widespread in the era of classicism, gave sculptors the opportunity to idealize military valor and the wisdom of statesmen. Fidelity to the ancient model required sculptors to depict models naked, which conflicted with accepted moral norms. To resolve this contradiction, modern figures were initially depicted by classicist sculptors in the form of naked ancient gods: Suvorov as Mars, and Polina Borghese as Venus. Under Napoleon, the issue was resolved by moving to the depiction of modern figures in ancient togas (such are the figures of Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly in front of the Kazan Cathedral). Bertel Thorvaldsen. “Ganymede Feeding the Eagle of Zeus” (1817). Private customers of the classic era preferred to perpetuate their names in tombstones. The popularity of this sculptural form contributed to the arrangement of public cemeteries in the main cities of Europe.

The growth of social freedom led to the appearance of the first public concerts. Musical societies and orchestras are being formed in the main cities of Europe. During the period of classicism, a string quartet consisting of two violins, a viola and a cello appeared, and the composition of the orchestra expanded significantly. Fundamental changes have taken place in orchestras; there is no longer a need for a harpsichord or an organ, as in the main musical instruments, wind instruments- clarinet, flute, trumpet, etc., on the contrary, took their place in the orchestra and created a new, special sound. During the period of classicism, a string quartet consisting of two violins, a viola and a cello appeared, and the composition of the orchestra expanded significantly. One of the first composers to use the symphonic format was the son of J. S. Bach - Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach.




In the same era, the piano, or fortepiano (correct name), was created. This allowed keyboardists to play music in different variations, both softly (piano) and louder (forte), depending on the keys used. The most important of solo works During the classical period there were sonatas, they were created for any solo instrument, but primarily for playing the piano. Like symphonies, sonatas became a way to combine many different types of instrumental music into one type.
