The Romantic Era

The Romantic Era was a time of contradictions. In many ways it was a reaction against the Enlightenment and the Industrial Era. The new ideas of the Romantic Era were introspective and individualistic. They were nature-loving and nostalgic. They idealized the past, specifically the Medieval era. These artists sought to evoke a feeling, they used drama, subjective and creative, to construct a mood.
