The Neo-Renaissance is an artistic and architectural movement that emerged in the 19th century, inspired by the original Renaissance period of the 14th to 17th centuries. It sought to revive classical themes, styles, and techniques, emphasizing harmony, proportion, and beauty. This movement was characterized by a blend of historical references and modern innovations, often seen in painting, sculpture, and architecture. In architecture, the Neo-Renaissance style is marked by grand structures featuring columns, arches, and elaborate decorations. Notable examples include the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome and the Paris Opera House. Artists like Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Gustave Courbet also contributed to this revival through their works, merging classical influences with contemporary ideas.
