Talk:Hellenism (neoclassicism)

==Romanticism and Classicism=

Untitled
These are two distinct and competing schools of art. Labelling Shelley, Byron & etc as Romantics and Hellenists (Neoclassicists) is confusing and incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.221.251.237 (talk) 14:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Towards an article integrated with the encyclopedia
It is not enough merely to assert that Hellenism is "a neoclassical movement distinct from other Roman or Greco-Roman forms of neoclassicism", it needs to be shown that this is not just a floating article with incoherent parallels in Neoclassicism and Greek Revival and intellectual links with Philhellenism. One useful technique would be to devote paragraphs discussing the relation of Hellenism to these other cultural themes.

Hellenism has its beginnings in the circle of Poussin, Cassiano dal Pozzo and Joachim von Sandrart in Rome. This needs a paragraph. Hellenism has a pre-history in cultured Roman circles from the late Republican period: Neo-Attic sculpture anda summary of Roman attitudes towards Greek culture will provide a foreword to this article.

"Hellenism" evolves through different meanings as generation follows generation, as an attitude rather than a thing. --Wetman (talk) 01:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
