An Italian school style oil painting on board depicting a portrait in the Neoclassical manner. Unsigned. Circa: late 19th century to early 20th century. The Italian Neoclassicism was the earliest manifestation of the general period known as Neoclassicism and lasted more than the other national variants of neoclassicism. It developed in opposition to the Baroque style around c.1750 and lasted until c.1850. Neoclassicism began around the period of the rediscovery of Pompeii and spread all over Europe as a generation of art students returned to their countries from the Grand Tour in Italy with rediscovered Greco Roman ideals. One of a kind artwork.
