What Is Romanticism?
Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement which took place in Europe between the late eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. It was a break from the guiding principles of the ‘Enlightenment’ (which established reason as the foundation of all knowledge) the Romantic Movement emphasised the importance of emotional sensitivity and individual subjectivity. For the Romantics, imagination, rather than reason, was the most important creative faculty.
below are some examples of the first paintings in the theme of ‘romanticism’ which set the basis for modern-day romanticism.
