16. EMANCIPATION
“Revolution”
Enlightenment principles of
equality and freedom lead to the
call to emancipate black slaves
throughout the Western World

Neoclassical works react against the
excessiveness of the Rococo period, a
period in which the split between the poor
and wealthy brought about the need for
Revolution
Neoclassical works use Greco-Roman
themes and figures to reveal a
contemporary message of
freedom, equality, and reason
