Symbolism in art became a prominent movement during the 19th century. Artists used symbolic imagery to convey mystical, spiritual, and emotional ideas. Symbolism was a reaction against the realistic representation of the world found in academic art at the time. Symbolist artists sought to express their inner thoughts and feelings through symbols, allegories, and dreamlike imagery. The movement encompassed a wide range of artistic forms, including painting, literature, and music, and had a significant influence on subsequent art movements such as expressionism and surrealism.
