The Romantic

The Romantic refers to a cultural and artistic movement from roughly the late 18th to the mid-19th century, emphasizing emotion, individual experience, and nature’s beauty. It was a reaction against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and focused on personal imagination, passion, and the sublime. Romanticism influenced literature, art, music, and philosophy, celebrating originality and the deep mysteries of human feelings. Artists and writers of this movement sought to evoke strong emotional responses and highlight the importance of intuition and spirituality in understanding the world.
