Romanticism

Romanticism was a 19th-century artistic and intellectual movement characterized by a focus on emotion, imagination, and individualism. It emerged as a reaction against the Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment ideals, gaining prominence from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. Romanticism emphasized subjective expression, sublime landscapes, and an appreciation of nature's beauty. It celebrated the heroic and the passionate, often portraying tales of love, tragedy, and the supernatural. Famous artists associated with Romanticism include William Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, and Eugène Delacroix.
