Romanticism began in Germany and England in the 19th century as a reaction against Enlightenment ideals. It emphasized emotions, individualism, nature and the supernatural. Key artistic movements included Impressionism in France which focused on capturing fleeting impressions using visible brush strokes, loose compositions and light/color. In 19th century France and Europe, Romanticism coincided with the rise of nationalism, industrialization, urbanization and social/political changes like the French Revolution. Artists like Delacroix and Turner embraced Romanticism through their expressive use of color, light, and landscapes to depict emotions and contemporary subjects.
