Nordic Classicism is an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in the Nordic countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It is characterized by a return to classical forms and ideals, emphasizing simplicity, harmony, and balance. Artists and architects sought inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art, blending these influences with local traditions and materials. The movement is often associated with notable figures such as the architect Gunnar Asplund and the painter Carl Larsson. Nordic Classicism played a significant role in shaping national identities and cultural expressions, reflecting a desire for modernity while honoring historical roots.
