“The Romanticism” was an artistic, political and philosophical movement that emerged in the last decades of the 18th century in Europe and lasted for much of the 19th century. It was characterized as a worldview that ran counter to rationalism and the Enlightenment and sought a nationalism that would consolidate nation states in Europe.

Initially just an attitude, a state of mind, romanticism later took the form of a movement, and the romantic spirit came to designate an entire worldview centered on the individual. Romantic authors turned more and more to themselves, portraying human drama, tragic loves, utopian ideals and desires for escapism. If the 18th century was marked by objectivity, enlightenment and reason, the beginning of the 19th century would be marked by lyricism, subjectivity, emotion and the self.

The term romantic refers to the aesthetic movement, that is, the idealistic or poetic tendency of someone who lacks objective meaning.

Romanticism is the art of dreaming and fantasy. It values the creative forces of the individual and the popular imagination. It is opposed to the balanced art of the classics and is based on the fleeting inspiration of strong moments in subjective life: faith, dreams, passion, intuition, longing, the feeling of nature and the power of national legends.
