Romanticism

VI. Romanticism (Late 18th-19th centuries)
Romanticism sharply contrasted the ideas of the [Enlightenment] and the ideologies of Neoclassicism. It's characterized by the use of color and motion to convey emotions. Many backgrounds and subjects were of the wonders and beauty of nature. The most well-known romantic artists include: [Eugene Delacroix], [J.M.W. Turner], [John Constable], and [William Blake]. [The French Revolution] is thought to have influenced this movement with the citizens' desperate attempts to restructure their government. Romanticism celebrated noble heroes who passionately fought for what they believed in, and also celebrated the individual's thoughts.
