The Classical Period
During this period, a return to
the ancient Greek style is marked, a phenomenon most prominent in
architecture. Topics of painting become free
and competition between painters, as well as their will to diversify their
art, make all themes legitimate. In music, Haydn
and Mozart
create their music with gentleness, harmony
and a kind of simplicity so typical to the classical
era.
Paintings that describe historical heroism and landscape pictures are fashionable
(with greater involvement taken by the painter, in terms of how he or she
describes the view). Landscape descriptions take
two courses: the poetic, lyric painting, addressing the heart, and,
in contrast - the exploration of the visible world.
