romantic art
Passion in pictures
Romantic art refers to work produced during or influenced by the Romantic movement of the late 18th and 19th centuries, which emphasized emotion, imagination, and individualism over classical restraint and reason.
Romantic painters favored dramatic landscapes, sublime nature, and intense human feeling: Delacroix and Turner are exemplars of romantic art.
