Romanticism

Romanticism

Romanticism (also known as the Romantic Era) is an artistic (and a cultural movement) which its origins started way back in the end of the 18^th century and from Europe. The movement was used as a reaction to the Industrial Age and as a rebellion against the politics and social issues of that time. The influence of Romanticism on art was that the artists began drawing landscapes containing storms, wild landscapes and Gothic structures.  The traits of romanticism were those of featuring great simplicity and natural opposite of the styles that came before romanticism such as the Renaissance, Neo-classical etc… which favored grandeur, complexity and details.
