Romantic Revival
The "Romantic Revival" refers to a cultural movement that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, emphasizing emotion, individualism, and nature. It was a reaction against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and the industrialization of society. Artists, writers, and musicians sought to express deep feelings and connect with the sublime aspects of the natural world.
Key figures of the Romantic Revival include poets like William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who celebrated the beauty of nature and human emotion in their works. This movement also influenced visual arts, with painters such as Caspar David Friedrich capturing dramatic landscapes that evoke a sense of awe and introspection.
