Unit 5: Romanticism.

When romanticism approached people during the end of the eighteen century, they were somehow still influenced by the neoclassic era. What I think that happened, is that with the new rise of ideas of freedom, people wanted to be themselves pure as they could in literal and emotional aspects. So when the concept of freedom came to art, artists of all kinds felt the need to explore what they were really feeling and express it as deliberately as they could. Except when painting or writing about leaders. Because most of the paintings made during the romantic era where associated with heroic themes, leaders and courageous people where portrayed as something almost mythical. Perhaps that is why they called that tendency romanticism, artists tried to created something from nothing portraying their emotions as raw as possible, but at the same time, they gave their works an overthought and dreamy-like essence.  Though, when comparing prior art tendencies such as rococo and neoclassicism with romanticism, it can be said and noticed that romanticism turns to be the most crude and sincere kind of tendency ever adopted by society as a medium to express people’s feelings.
