  3. What is Romanticism? • Romanticism : a style of art, literature, etc., during the late 18th and early 19th centuries that emphasized the imagination and emotion • “In Romantic art, nature—with its uncontrollable power, unpredictability, and potential for cataclysmic extremes—offered an alternative to the ordered world of Enlightenment thought. The violent and terrifying images of nature conjured by Romantic artists recall the eighteenth-century aesthetic of the Sublime. As articulated by […] Edmund Burke […], "all that stuns the soul, all that imprints a feeling of terror, leads to the sublime."

  4. Why did romanticism happen? • Romanticism took over in art due to the rigid logic and rules of the enlightenment. As well as in response to the bleakness of life during the industrial revolution. • The pendulum will always swing back, and through romanticism people were able to experience imagination and emotion rather than the logic and reason so heavily pushed by the enlightenment.
