What to look for
Neoclassicism: Rococo before it is playful and pastel; Romanticism, its contemporary rival, prefers loose brushwork, rich colour and strong emotion.
Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov (28 July 1806 – 15 July 1858) was a Russian painter who adhered to the waning tradition of Neoclassicism but found little sympathy with his contemporaries. Wikipedia
