Romanticism
Romanticism refers to an artistic, as well as intellectual and literary movement, which gained prominence in the late eighteenth century. It was born in part as a response to the growing industrialization of Europe; the social and political turmoil in revolutionary France; and as a reaction against the academic, Neoclassical Style.
In an exaltation and celebration of individuality, subjectivism, imagination and irrationalism, and a validation of strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience, Romantic artists explored the turbulence of nature and the exotic as a gateway to transcendent experience and spiritual truth. Romantic works of art were typically emotionally wrought, characterized by clash of color and design, and expressive use of mood and color to express such emotions as fear, terror, horror and awe. Artists made heavy use of brushstroke, impasto and free handling of paint to achieve this and looked to folk culture, Medieval art, ethnic art and primitive art for inspiration. In addition to nature and the exotic, imagery encompassed a broad range of themes including: the remote, the mysterious, the occult, the diseased, and the satanic.
While Romanticism maintained its popularity largely in Europe, the movement found parallels in the American Hudson River and Luminous Schools; movements which also examined the overwhelming power of nature and transient creations of men. Other movements related to or influenced by Romanticism include: Pre-Raphaelite Art , Symbolist Art and to an extent, Impressionism .
Notable romantic artists include: J.M.W. Turner, Francisco Goya, Théodore Géricault, Eugène Delacroix, Caspar David Friedrich, JC Dahl, William Blake and Hans Gude.
