The equivalent artistic style to the enlightened idea of reason is the noble antique classicism of the Louis XVI style. Named after the French king who was on the throne at the time (1774-92), the style was able to manifest visually rational relations of ornamental composition and architectonics as well as the cultural dimensions referring back to the age of venerated antiquity. Paradigmatic, therefore, are the monumental church buildings such as the Hungarian cathedrals of Vác or Szombathely, which combine severe classical exteriors with fine noble interiors in the Louis-XVI style, or as a monument, also in Vác, the quasi-antique triumphal arch erected for the empress Maria Theresia. Corresponding with this attitude in painting and sculpture was the official academic handling of anatomy and composition to guarantee the standard of quality.
