Romanticism | National Gallery of Art https://www.nga.gov/artworks/romanticism
Romanticists, who placed emotion and intuition before reason, caused a re-evaluation of the role of art and the artist. They believed in the importance of the individual, the personal, and the subjective. This late-18th and early-19th century movement was a backlash to the ideals of rationality that had remained central since the Renaissance.
