From 1789- 1848--- ROMANTICS
The Romantics- revolted against the pragmatism and Logic of the Age of Enlightenment
They were part of the French Revolution of 1789
And the European Revolt of 1848 and the Revolutions in
South American the French Revolution
dissolved into chaos and the Napoleonic Wars
The Romantics were Individuals- social independence- all for changes in education,
Changes in social welfare, changes in expression in the arts
Wanted freedom of expression:
The SUBLIME in art like Turner
Political paintings as in the work of Delacroix and the world of human folly as in GOYA
Photography as an exploratory form
Architecture from other time periods
HEAD

HEART
( neo-classicists
vs
romanticists)

English- Talbot invented the
calotype

As shutter speeds got faster- could take pictures of people so they would not
Have to sit still for so long
