Romantic Figures
"Romantic Figures" refers to key individuals and themes that emerged during the Romanticism movement, which flourished in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This movement emphasized emotion, nature, and individualism, often reacting against the rationalism of the Enlightenment. Prominent figures include poets like William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who celebrated the beauty of the natural world and human emotion.
In addition to poets, artists such as Eugène Delacroix and Caspar David Friedrich contributed to the Romantic aesthetic through their evocative paintings. These figures often explored themes of the sublime, the mysterious, and the spiritual, reflecting a deep connection to nature and the human experience.
