Abstract:
With Romanticism, the significance of religious faith in artistic production is renewed. A clear break and detachment from classical models emerges, while the search for the exotic and a renewed connection with nature intensify, as a reaction to increasing urbanization. Art becomes a means of expressing the artist’s personal concerns, imagination, impulses, and dreams. Two of the most characteristic concepts of Romanticism are the picturesque—that is, the quaint, the unexpected, the exotic—and the sublime, which refers to the highest, the infinite, even the intense and terrifying at once. Romantic painting is based on the expressive freedom of the artist, while architecture presents an endless variety of stylistic approaches, often coexisting in the mind and work of a single creator.
