Weekly Calendar 1822

Joseph Anton Koch's "Weekly Calendar" (1822) is a watercolor drawing that is a fine example of Neoclassical style. This artwork depicts a scene with figures from classical mythology, including a central figure of a goddess enthroned on clouds. The figures are surrounded by a decorative frame with symbolic imagery and the date "SMD.MD.CC.XXII" at the bottom. The artist's attention to detail and the composition's harmony are quintessential features of the Neoclassical style, which drew inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art. This artwork is a testament to the enduring influence of classical art on European art in the 19th century.
