Beginning as a 19th century literary movement, Romanticism was all about
the drama, glory, imagination, and the awesome (and awful) wonders of
life! Stirred by changing times across Europe, Romantic art championed
humanity and emotions and celebrated nature in all its forms. As an
artistic movement, Romanticism declined from the 1850s, but its
influence lives on in the works of JMW Turner, John Constable, and
Francisco Goya.
