What is Romanticism?

Understand what Romanticism is and what it isn't, with examples from visual art and music from the period. Romanticism was a reaction against the Age of the Enlightenment. It was the assertion of the heart over the head and many of its ideas persist today. You probably have some Romantic thoughts and beliefs in your own mind right now!
This video is a preface to a series on Modernism. Featured artists include: Vincent Van Gogh, Caspar David Friedrich, William Wordsworth, Charlotte Brontë, Walt Whitman, J. M. W. Turner, Théodore Géricault, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, John Fuseli''s The Nightmare, Francis Ellen Watkins Harper, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Jean-Francois Millet.
After watching the video; check out this link to an astonishing performance of a magnificent Romantic composition. • Martha Argerich - Prok... Andre Previn directing the London Symphony Orchestra, Martha Argerich piano.

    I really like the way you boiled it down so succinctly for the novice literature lover to absorb. People like me. Good going. It's "a rebellion of the heart against the head". And I liked how you explained Romanticism in contrast and as a reaction to the Enlightenment. Gave your argument a context.

    Hello , I am writing an essay about how we went from Romanticism to the idea of romance today. Do you have any idea why we went from passion, spontaneity, individuality and nature to romance with all the cliches ..?
