With these words Charles Baudelaire, in 1846, summarized the essence of the fascinating cultural, spiritual, and artistic movement that took hold of Europe during the late eighteenth century and had a profound impact on every field of the arts, from music to painting to literature. A phenomenon of revolutionary import, Romanticism ~ so~named for the importance it gave to the emotions ~ spread across the continent of Europe and arrived in the young United States. It was a new concept of art and artists, Rejecting the rigid canons of classicism and the limitations imposed by traditional rules, and in open revolt against rationalism, it saw art as the result of absolute creative freedom and the artist as a supreme ~ even heroic ~ individual with the right to express him~ or herself in a the most personal way, drawing inspiration from imagination and driven by the demands of creativity, This volume, illustrated with more than 450 splendid images, presents the history of Romanticism in a highly original way, offering an enthralling panorama of this all~important period in the history of art. By dividing the vast subject into twenty basic themes the author explores the various "souls" of Romanticism, from the myth of Napoleon to the Gothic revival, from religious images to the allure of the East and exoticism. There are chapters on landscape, dreams and the psyche, the concept of the sublime, along with insights into melodrama, Gothic romances, and the ballet, taking the reader up to the very threshold of the modern age and first signs of realism. This historical and artistic story is illustrated with works by the greatest artists of the period ~ such as Caspar David Friedrich, Ingres, Delacroix, Gericoult, Fuseli, Bloke, and Turner in Europe; and John Trumbull, Thomas Cole, and George Catlin in America ~ along with works by minor artists who made important contributions. The volume includes a chronological table to guide the reader through one of the most turbulent and dramatic periods of history; brief biographies of the artists; a bibliography; and an index. Together these resources make this exceptionally comprehensive volume on essential introduction to one of the most fascinating periods in art history, a period that still influences the way we look at art and life.
