Swedish National Romantic
Swedish National Romantic is an artistic and cultural movement that emerged in Sweden during the late 19th century. It aimed to celebrate and revive the country's folklore, history, and natural landscapes, reflecting a growing sense of national identity. This movement influenced various forms of art, including literature, music, and visual arts, often drawing inspiration from Swedish folklore and nature.
Key figures in this movement include writers like Verner von Heidenstam and Selma Lagerlöf, as well as composers such as Jean Sibelius. Their works often emphasized themes of nationalism and the beauty of the Swedish countryside, contributing to a broader European trend of national romanticism during this period.
