VIRTUAL "Neoclassicism in Revolutionary America" - an America 250 Art Lecture

Join art historian, Jay Schuck, as he examines how the ideals of Ancient Greece and Rome shaped the visual culture of Revolutionary America. Explore how Neoclassicism reflects Enlightenment values, political identity, and the young nation's desire to align itself with the classical past. From civic buildings to portraiture, discover how artists used classical forms to define the new American image.

Presenter: Jay Schuck is an independent curator and art historian from Long Island, NY. He received my B.A. (magna cum laude, 2013) and M.A. (2019) in Art History & Criticism from Stony Brook University.
