Romanticism

Romanticism dominated the ideals during the 1780’s until around 1830’s with a wave of emotionalism that was a complex shift in the attitude of artists and writers of the age. Particularly the way they envisioned nature had change from the classical world view. Artist of the age became particularly fond of their relationship to nature and how they viewed and experience the world.

Romanticism created expression within the subject of nature, such notable artist in this movement were William Blake, John Constable,Francisco Goya and J.M.W turner. Expression of subject was the predominate part of the Romanticism style. Such artist like William Blake created his inner workings outward and produced his own world view onto his canvas.

The visions that were created during the area of romanticism have created lasting images that echo into the artist’s sphere of influence. From hopeful visions of nature that bounce into the soul of man and highlight the best we can envision or from Goya’s darker years during Spain’s violent era’s creating works that express debauchery that was hidden within the experience.
