Description
Romanticism was a way of feeling rather than a style in art. In the period c.1775-1830, European artists, poets and composers initiated their own rebellion against the dominant political, religious and social ethos of the day. Their quest for personal expression and individual liberation led to significant transformations in the idea of art, seeing it as an instrument of social and psychological change. This comprehensive volume explores Romanticism through a thematic approach, relating it to concurrent movements such as Neoclassicism and the Gothic Revival. It examines how artists responded to landscapes or depicted historical events, as well as lesser-known figures like David and Ingres. By considering these diverse perspectives, readers gain a clear understanding of this complex movement that produced some of Europe's greatest art, literature and music. By exploring Romanticism in depth, this book provides insight into the era's political and social developments and their impact on artistic expression.
