Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix
Romanticism was an artistic, literary, musical, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe during the late 18th century and peaked from 1800 to 1850. The movement glorified all of the past and nature and focused on emotion and individualism, and it was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, the norms of the Enlightenment era, and the scientific rationalization of nature. The movement was often associated with liberalism, radicalism, and nationalism during the Age of Liberalism in the 19th century.
