Romanticism

Romanticism was a cultural movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries that emphasized emotion, nature, and individual experience over rationalism. It celebrates "The Sublime," where awe-inspiring beauty evokes deep feelings, often in nature. "The Picturesque" refers to visually pleasing scenes that blend beauty and complexity. Aesthetic subjectivism highlights personal interpretation of art, valuing individual feelings over strict rules. Symbolism in art uses images to convey deeper meanings and emotions, reflecting inner experiences and connecting to universal truths. Overall, Romanticism sought to elevate the emotional and imaginative aspects of human existence.
