Alphabetical Index of the Great Masters of Romanticism

Romanticism was a major art movement that emerged in the late 18th century and lasted until the mid-19th century. This artistic, literary, and intellectual movement originated in Europe and had a significant impact on the arts in Western civilization during this time period. Romanticism emphasized individualism, imagination, emotion, and intuition, in contrast to the Enlightenment's focus on reason and logic. Romantic artists celebrated the beauty of nature, exotic and mysterious scenes, and heroic figures in their works.

Romanticism in art history is characterized by a fascination with the past, the sublime, and the use of dramatic landscapes. Romantic artists often portrayed scenes of nature in their works to evoke strong emotions in the viewer. Some of the most notable Romantic artists include William Blake, J.M.W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, Francisco Goya, Eugène Delacroix, and John Constable. In literature, Romanticism was represented by writers such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron.

The Romantic movement had a significant influence on subsequent art movements, including Realism and Impressionism. It played a crucial role in shaping the artistic landscape of the 19th century and beyond, and its ideals of the creative, subjective powers of the artist continue to fuel avant-garde movements to this day. Overall, Romanticism in art history remains an important and influential movement that continues to inspire artists, writers, and thinkers to this day.
