The Essence of Romanticism: Emotions Over Reason in Early 19th Century Art

This presentation explores the emerging philosophy of Romanticism in the early 19th century, highlighting a growing distrust of reason and a celebration of subjective human experience. Emphasizing emotion, nature, and individualism, Romanticism declared civilization corrupt and community essential. Through a rich selection of art, including works by Caspar David Friedrich and Eugène Delacroix, we examine how these themes manifested visually and impacted societal views, reflecting a profound shift in understanding the human experience.
