Romanticism:

The Artistic Revolution

Page 2: The+romantic+era animated

What is Romanticism?Romanticism has very little to do with things popularly thought of as "romantic," although love may occasionally be the subject of Romantic art.

Rather, it is an international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people in Western cultures thought about themselves and about their world.

A Revolution of the Arts???Yes, indeed! When Americans were fighting for their freedom,

heads were rolling on the guillotine of the French Revolution,

artists, musicians, philosophers, and poets were revolutionizing their areas as well as they moved from the Neo-classical to the Romantic.
