monuments remain unattainable and therefore were never executed.
Innovation and resistance in the eighteenth century, illustrated through a selection of over one hundred
and fifty major works, the birth of the movement called "Neoclassical" which, in the eighteenth century,
brought new Europe to the rediscovery of Antiquity.

not only the visual arts as well as architecture to become an art of living, driven by advances in
archeology and academic debates.

monuments, as well as an essay on the art.

have known intuitively and at all times.

a generation of architects and anticipated many aspects of the architecture of the nineteenth
century.
