Beaux-Arts
An art style from the late 1800s that mixed classical ideas with modern realism.
What is it?
Beaux-Arts is a style that was taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. It combined elements of ancient Greek and Roman art with Renaissance and Baroque styles. Sculptures in this style are often realistic, graceful, and full of movement. The statue of Diana by Saint-Gaudens is a good example. It shows a classical subject (a Roman goddess) with a natural, lively pose. The style was popular for public monuments and buildings in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The child's reflection notes the statue's elegant pose and dynamic beauty, which are characteristic of Beaux-Arts.
