Romanticism “A movement in art and literature in the 18 th and 19 th centuries in revolt against the Neoclassicism of the previous centuries.” Morner and Rausch (1997)

RomanticismRomanticism Romanticism, while it cannot be characterized by simple categories, has several things in common: – Paintings are often highly imaginative and subjective in their approach – A new found emotional intensity creates a dreamlike or visionary feeling – In comparison, Neoclassicism is restrained, calm and straight. – Romantic art attempts to express an exuberance of emotions. – The same statements also hold true for literature during this period.
