Neoclassical movement. Artists and painters in France, looked to the Italian Renaissance and the classical world; thus the term Neoclassicism.
Jacques-Louis David was the leader of the Neo-Classical movement in France. The earliest Neoclassical painters were Joseph Marie Vien, Anton Raphael Mengs, Pompeo Batoni, Angelica Kauffmann, and Gavin Hamilton. Jean-Aguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) was also a Neo-Classical painter.
