The 'immorality' of the rococo period in the french court reflected the extravagance that would lead to the bloody period of the french revolution.
As a result of the criticism that Rococo art was immoral and lewd, Neoclassicism emerged as a new style of moral, educational art. The Neoclassicists were influenced by the works of Nicolas Poussin as an alternative to the frivolous sensuality of Rococo artists like Jean-Honoré Fragonard and François Boucher.
In addition to favoring line over color, Poussin's artwork frequently demonstrates clarity, logic, and organization. The dominating Baroque style of the 17th century was challenged by the works of this artist.
