Romanticism

Beginning in the last decades of the 18th century, it transformed poetry, the novel, drama, painting, sculpture, all forms of concert music (especially opera), and ballet. It was deeply connected with the politics of the time, echoing people's fears, hopes, and aspirations. It was the voice of revolution at the beginning of the 19th century and the voice of the Establishment at the end of it.

This last shift was the result of the triumph of the class which invented fostered , and adopted as its own the romantic movement: the bourgeoisie.

[In other words romanticism was a love movement usually drawn with lots of reds and oranges. The artist would have put passion into his or her works of art.]
