ROMANTICISM

Not just one visual style, not just a style of art

and not just about romantic love

Exhibiting intense emotion to provoke emotional responses

The period was not just in art but also in poetry, fiction, music, and theater

Teaching to be empathetic and caring to others

Somewhat of a reaction to the coldness and lack of emotion of Neoclassicism

THE SUBLIME-  

 -quality of greatness, whether physical, moral, intellectual, metaphysical, aesthetic, spiritual or artistic. The term especially refers to a greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement or imitation.

-a sense of awe, with a bit of shock, and sometimes a bit of fear- mostly of the unknown.   Dreams, imagination, daydreams, nightmares, beyond everyday.....
