Romanticism

Romanticism was popular in Northern Europe and the US during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Romantic artists felt that imagination and individual expressions were important as opposed to the intellectual disciplines they removed themselves from. Their paintings often depict emotions of fear, desolation, victory and love.

Romanticism died out in the mid 19th century but romantic tendencies have been passed on to 20th century art such as Expressionism and Neo-Expressionism.

Some Romantic artists include Bierstadt, Blake, Constable, Friedrich, Gericault, Goya and Turner.
