Question

which characteristic of ancient roman culture helps explain why french artists of the late 1700s were interested in neoclassicism?
emotionalism
nationalism
faith
generosity

Explanation:

Neoclassicism in the late 1700s in France was influenced by ancient Roman culture. Nationalism played a role as ancient Rome was seen as a model of a great and powerful nation - state. French artists, especially during a time of political upheaval (such as the lead - up to the French Revolution), looked to ancient Rome's grandeur, order, and sense of national identity. Emotionalism was more associated with Romanticism which came after Neoclassicism. Faith (in a religious sense) was not the main driving force for the interest in Neoclassicism. Generosity is not a characteristic of ancient Roman culture that is linked to the rise of Neoclassicism in France.

Answer:

nationalism
