7. THEME: Features of Romanticism
“Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains!” - Rousseau
P.I.N.E.
Past – Longing for the medieval past, pre-industrial Europe (Gothic architecture will be
revived)
Irrational/ Inner mind / Insanity – Romantic artists depict the human psyche and topics
that transcend the use of reason. One Romantic artist, Gericault, chose to do portraits of
people in insane asylums
Nature – longing for the purity of nature, which defies human rationality
Emotion/ Exotic – Romantics favored emotion and passion over reason. Exotic themes
and locales were also popular because they did not adhere to European emphasis on
rationality
Imagination, not reason, FEELING, not thinking = FREEDOM
