Romanticism was a major artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as a reaction against the rationality and restraint of the Enlightenment era. It strongly emphasised individualism, emotion, imagination, and the sublime. Romantic artists and writers sought to explore the depths of human experience, often depicting dramatic and intense scenes, landscapes, and historical events. They celebrated the power of nature, the supernatural, and the expression of personal emotions. Notable figures of the Romantic movement include J.M.W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, William Wordsworth, and Mary Shelley. Romanticism profoundly impacted various art forms, literature, music, and philosophy, and its influence can still be seen in contemporary culture.
