The "Late Romantic" period, spanning roughly from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, is characterized by an emphasis on emotional expression and individualism in art and music. This era saw the continuation of the Romanticism movement, with artists and composers exploring themes of nature, the sublime, and the human experience. Key figures of the Late Romantic period include composers like Richard Wagner and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who pushed the boundaries of musical form and harmony. In visual arts, painters such as Gustave Courbet and J.M.W. Turner focused on realism and emotional depth, reflecting the complexities of modern life.
