We will show what 3d models are on our site. And how with their help you can make products in the classical style or for neoclassicism with the help of a machine with numerical control (CNC).
Classicism:
Generally speaking, this style was popular in art and architecture in the late 18th and early 20th centuries.
It was then that craftsmen and artists began to look for inspiration in the great creations of the age of antiquity.
However, it gained popularity in different countries at different times. Like all other styles in general. Somewhere fashion began earlier, somewhere later.
Baroque, Rococo and other lavish palace interior trends preceded classicism.
The beginning of the birth of fashion for classicism coincided with the excavations conducted in Pompeii and other ancient urban settlements. Perhaps this also influenced the renewal of trends in architecture and art.
An important fact was that there was a new worldview in society, for which the ideals of antiquity were most suitable. The attitude to nature changed, a new class - the bourgeoisie - appeared, and enlightenment became the key idea.
In this regard, elements of antiquity became more and more common in architecture and art.
Antique porticoes and columns, sculptures and moldings appeared. However, these elements became decorative rather than functional.
Ornaments of the classicism era:
- First, unlike the Baroque, ornaments became more orderly, proportional, and static. Gone overloaded, excessive dynamism. More often began to use simple geometric figures and straight lines. However, textured, volumetric elements are not excluded.
- At the same time, it should be noted that the ornaments of classicism are not as brutal as in Roman art or in the Empire style (Napoleonic era). They are softer and more delicate, closer to the Greek style.
- Ornaments are symmetrically distributed in the interiors and on the facades of buildings.
List of ornaments and other decorative elements characteristic of classicism:
- Plant motifs are popular: meander, acanthus, palmette, flower garlands, baskets of flowers, vases, as well as bows and ribbons.
- An interesting element of ornament of the Classicist era - is all sorts of tools, such as sickles, rakes, as well as the results of these labors - fruits and baskets full of fruits.
- Symbols of love also found their place here, for example, a couple of doves.
- As well as all the heroes of mythology - fauns and cupids, griffins and sphinxes, dolphins and centaurs.
- Rosettes are popular. And different shapes. Square, round, oval. And also medallions.
- Bas-reliefs with subjects from antiquity, mythology.
- Torches, heads of lions - all this is also becoming popular elements of decor.
- Stucco garlands.
- Braids and harnesses.
It is interesting that in the times of classicism, whole collections with ornamental designs were issued. And in them drew inspiration from designers and architects of the past.
Classicism and neoclassicism in our days:
There is no one leading style these days. In fashion is a mix of different style trends. But designers manage to combine everything organically.
Ornaments and plots of classicism are still popular. They give the spirit of vintage. Special chic to products and interiors.
Decor in this style is used in the interior of rooms, when decorating walls, ceilings. As well as in the decoration of furniture and doors.
