    The Neoclassical and Romantic periods are really similar in many aspects, like art,

    literature, and music. These time periods started as movements during different centuries. Both

    rising as big impact and making major changes in the century. Even though both movements

    started with similar purpose both evolved into something different.

    Neoclassical is the given name by the western movement emphasizing in visual arts,

    literature, theatre, music, and architecture, all of these drown from classical art and culture.

    Neoclassicism was born through writings like Johann Joachim Winckelmann, Alexander Pope,

    Jhon Dryden. It spread all over Europe because of some European art students returned to Italy

    from their home countries bringing the Neoclassical movement back with them.

    Alexander Pope one of the major time period authors wrote: Essay on Criticism​, ​The

    Rape of the Lock and The Dunciad. On Essay on criticism, ​Pope refers to ancient writers such as

    Virgil​, ​Homer​, ​Aristotle​, ​Horace​, and ​Longinus​. Pope says, "True ease in writing comes from art,

    not chance, As those move easiest who have learned to dance" meaning poets are made, not

    born. In ​The rape of the lock, the poem satirizes a small incident by comparing it to the world of

    the Gods. It was based on actual event recounted to Pope by his friend John Caryll. ​The Dunciad

    published in three different versions at different times from 1728 to 1743. The poem celebrates a

    Goddess Dulness and the progress of her chose agents as the bring decay, imbecility, and

    statelessness to the Kingdom of Great Britain. Another of the Major authors of John Dryden
    who wrote: ​The Indian queen and Momus as well as many other. In the Indian queen ​a play

    about a set at the courts of Peru and Mexico right before the Spanish invasion. ​Momus was in

    Greek mythology who personified in the satire as mockery, two stories about whom figure

    among Aesop’s Fales.

    The main movement of the Neoclassical period was the Enlightenment that came up in

    the 18th century and all the way thru the 19th century until the 21st century. This movement

    started to come up with the Romantic Period. Neoclassicism visual arts began in c. 1760 in the

    ascension of the dominant Rococo style. The Rococo architecture emphasized grace and the

    Neoclassical architecture was based on the principles of simplicity and symmetry.

    The term "Neoclassical" was not invented until the mid-19th century, and at the time the

    movements were described as "the true style", "reformed" and "revival". But the style could

    also be regarded as a revival of the Renaissance. Neoclassicism strongest suite was architecture,

    sculpture and the decorative arts. As for painting, Neoclassicist painters imaginatively revived

    it, with mosaics and pottery painting and partly through the examples of painting and decoration

    of the High Renaissance of Raphael’s generation.

    In American architecture, Neoclassicism was an expression of the American Renaissance,

    the last example was Beaux-Arts architecture and it's very last, large public projects were the

    Lincoln Memorial, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and the American Museum
    of Natural History at Roosevelt Memorial. These were considered stylistic anachronisms when

    they were finished.

    There was an entire 20th-century movement in the Arts which was also called

    Neo-classicism. It encompassed at least music, philosophy, and literature. It was between the end

    of World War I and the end of World War II. This time period was a warming receiver for the

    upcoming period that was the Romantic Period.

    The Romanticism was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that began

    in Europe at the end of the 18th century. It was described to talk on the emotion of the

    individual as well as the past and nature, preferring the medieval rather than the classical. It was

    partly a beginning to the industrial revolution the aristocratic social and political. It was

    evolved mostly with the visual arts, music, and literature, but had a major impact on history,

    social science and natural science. In politics, it influenced Liberalism, Radicalism,

    Conservatism, and Nationalism.

    The movement emphasized intense emotion and beauty of nature, evolving

    characteristics in arts and music. In contrast to the Rationalism and Classicism of the

    Enlightenment, Romanticism revived Medievalism.


    Romanticism assigned a high value to the achievements of "heroic" individualists and

    artists, whose examples, it maintained, would raise the quality of society. It also promoted the

    individual imagination allowed freedom in art. In the second half of the 19th century, Realism

    was referred to as a popular opposite to Romanticism. The decline of Romanticism during this

    time was associated with multiple processes, including social and political changes and the

    spread of Nationalism.

    The nature of Romanticism may be approached from the primary importance of the free

    expression of the feelings of the artist. To express these feelings, it was considered the content of

    art had to come from the imagination of the artist, with as little interference as possible from

    "artificial" rules dictating what a work should consist of. As well as rules, the influence of

    models from other works was considered to impede the creator's own imagination, so was

    essential. August Wilhelm argued in his “ Lectures on Dramatic Arts and Letters”​ that the most

    phenomenal power of human nature is its capacity to divide and diverge into opposite directions.

    As well as many other Romanticism authors like: Mary Shelley, Emily Dickinson, and

    Victor Hugo. Mary Shelly writing many wonderful pieces like ​Frankenstein​. ​Frankenstein

    talking about a that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a

    hideous, creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Emily Dickson a phenomenist Poet of

    the time writing many pieces of poetry like A bird came down the walk.​ That talks about Emily

    seeing a bird come down the walk, unaware that it was being watched. The bird ate an

    angleworm, then “drank a Dew From a convenient Grass” then hopped sideways to let a beetle
    pass by. The bird’s frightened, bead-like eyes glanced all around. As well as Victor Hugo with

    his renown novel The hunchman of Notre Dame that talks about the love story between a

    Quasimodo a hunchman that lives in the top of the most famous Cathedral of Paris the Notre

    Dame and between a gypsy Esmeralda conmeded as a witch by ​Archdeacon Frollo one of the

    Prest at the Notre Dame serving as well as the novel’s antagonist.
