National Romanticism in Sweden was a cultural movement in the 19th century that emphasized the importance of national identity and folklore. It sought to celebrate Sweden's unique history, landscapes, and traditions, often drawing inspiration from the Viking era and Swedish folklore. Artists, writers, and musicians aimed to evoke a sense of pride in the Swedish heritage through their works. This movement was characterized by a focus on nature, rural life, and the common people. Notable figures included the painter Carl Larsson and the composer Edvard Grieg, who contributed to the nationalistic spirit by highlighting Sweden's beauty and cultural legacy in their art and music.
