🎨 What is classicism in painting?

Classicism flourished in France in the 17th century, under the reign of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. In reaction to the excesses of Mannerism and Italian Baroque, it favors an ordered, clear, measured painting, inspired by antique models and the Renaissance. The composition follows precise rules: symmetry, hierarchy of figures, edifying subjects drawn from mythology, history, or the Bible.

Among the major figures of classicism are Nicolas Poussin, Eustache Le Sueur, Charles Le Brun, and Philippe de Champaigne. Their works, often austere but deeply intelligent, seek to elevate the soul through art, in a quest for the absolute.
