TERME PRÉFÉRENTIEL
Romanticism  
DÉFINITION
  • Simplyfying its definition, Romanticism could be seen as a late 18th to early 19th century reaction against the reason of the Enlightenment and the order of Neoclassicism. Implicit to this process were beliefs in the primacy of individual experience and in the irrational as well as the rational. The word itself was derived from the late medieval Romance, seen as a fruitful literary alternative to the traditions of Classicism. Nature, hitherto viewed as an ordered part of man's environment, was seen as an elemental force inspiring an emotional reaction in man and a concomitant interest in landscape painting of all types.
