Late Romanticism

Late Romanticism was an artistic and cultural movement that emerged in the late 19th century, building on the earlier Romantic era. It emphasized individual emotion, nature, and the sublime, often showcasing intense feelings and dramatic themes. Artists, writers, and composers sought to break boundaries and explore deeper human experiences, often incorporating elements of nationalism and folklore. The movement is characterized by a focus on personal expression and aesthetic beauty, with notable figures like Wagner in music, Dostoevsky in literature, and painters like Gustave Moreau. Late Romanticism reflects a longing for connection and meaning in a rapidly changing world.
