    The document compares and contrasts several different art styles throughout history. Classicism refers to art inspired by ancient Greek and Roman works that was popular during the Renaissance. Medieval art had darker religious themes and lacked realistic proportions. Renaissance art emerged as a rebirth and focused on concepts like perspective. Mannerism emphasized a stylized style. Baroque art had dramatic, exaggerated details. Neoclassicism returned to classical subject matter with strong lines and restrained colors.

    Compare and contrast the following art styles.
     Classicism
    - Classical art, often known as classicism, is artwork that draws inspiration from
    ancient Roman or ancient Greek civilization, architecture, literature, or the arts.
    Western art's classical movement, which typically used painting, sculpture, and
    prints to depict scenes from mythology, enjoyed its greatest popularity during the
    Renaissance.
     Medieval Art
    - Darker than modern art, medieval works were produced between the fifth and
    roughly the sixteenth centuries. It was well recognized as a period when artists
    placed a strong emphasis on religious works that included representations of
    Christian and Judeo-Christian stories and beliefs in the form of sculpture and
    painting. Paintings from the Middle Ages were flat, lacked realistic proportions, and
    only used one hue for each object.
     Renaissance Art
    - The Renaissance, on the other hand, was very different since it was a time when
    artists began to look into the softer, more graceful concepts and beliefs that were
    founded on an awakening and a period of learning, studying, and creating things to
    enhance life for all of humanity. The phrase "Renaissance" itself, which refers to a
    "awakening or rebirth," aptly describes this time when Michelangelo, Raphael, and
    Leonardo Da Vinci flourished and produced what are now recognized as the greatest
    works of art in history. Renaissance art made use of light, perspective, and precise
    proportions. Unique compositions in Renaissance art typically call the viewer's
    attention to the painting's most important components.
     Mannerism
    - This tour features mannerism-style paintings and bronze sculptures. Maniera, which
    is the Italian word for "style," is the basis of the English word mannerism, which is
    frequently referred to as the "stylish style" due to its preference for self-conscious
    artifice over authentic portrayal.
     Baroque
    - The term "Baroque," which comes from the Portuguese "barocco," which means
    "irregular pearl or stone," characterizes the dominant cultural and artistic
    movement in Europe from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the middle of
    the nineteenth. Baroque emphasizes dramatic, exaggerated movements and highly
    recognizable detail.
     Neoclassicism
    - Strong horizontal and vertical lines that make the subject matter timeless (rather
    than temporal, as in the dynamic Baroque works) and Classical subject matter (or
    the classicization of modern subject matter) are characteristics of neoclassicism that
    set it apart from other styles. Neoclassicism also has a restrained color palette, little
    empty space, and simple, straightforward forms.
