Neoclassicism oil painting regards aesthetic in Renaissance as the guiding ideology, advocating antiquity, reason and nature, characterized by selecting a serious theme; pay attention to shape and integrity; emphasis on rational and emotional ignored; emphasized to the neglect of color sketches. The representatives of neoclassical paintings are Jacques Louis David and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Jacques Louis David is not only a distinguished French painter, but also a social activist of the French Revolution. He often choose ancient Greek, Roman history hero story as a theme for creation works. In the image-building, with ancient sculpture as a template, and strive to express the character of generality, the composition sought rigorous, balanced pursuit of the sketch over emphasis on color.
