National Romanticism is an artistic and cultural movement that emerged in the 19th century, emphasizing national identity and folklore. It sought to celebrate the unique characteristics of a nation, often drawing inspiration from its history, myths, and traditions. This movement was particularly prominent in countries like Finland, Norway, and Sweden, where artists and writers aimed to foster a sense of pride in their cultural heritage. In literature, music, and visual arts, National Romanticism often featured themes of nature, rural life, and historical events. Notable figures include the composer Jean Sibelius and the painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela, who both contributed to the movement by highlighting the beauty and significance of their native landscapes and stories.
