Symbolism
Symbolism is an artistic movement that emerged in late 19th century Europe. It reached its peak between 1885 and 1900, gaining fame for its exploration of mystical and symbolist themes. Symbolism was a reaction against the increasing industrialization of society and sought to convey deeper meanings through the use of symbols and allegories. This style is characterized by its emphasis on imagination, subjective emotions, and the spiritual realm. Artists employed vivid colors, dreamlike imagery, and unconventional compositions to express their inner thoughts and emotions.
