Romanticism A Movement Across The Arts
Romanticism -(also the Romantic era or the Romantic period) was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850. Partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution,[1] it was also a revolt against the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature.[2] It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature, but had a major impact on historiography,[3] education[4] and the natural sciences.[5] Its effect on politics was considerable and complex; while for much of the peak Romantic period it was associated with liberalism and radicalism, its long-term effect on the growth of nationalism was probably more significant. Characterized by 5 I`s –
Imagination – “Imagination over reason” Forming new ideas, or images in the mind being creative. Intuition – The ability to understand something immediately, without the need of conscious of reasoning. Emotions were very important in romantic art. “Spontaneous overflow of feelings and emotions.” Individualism – Habit or principle of being self reliant and being independent. Celebration of romantic individuality. Own expressed thoughts. Idealism -
