Neoclassical and Romantic movements cover the period of 1750 to 1850. Neoclassicism is essentially an art of an ideal; it was viewed as revolutionary denial of the self-indulgence of the baroque. The Baroque style is exemplified by drama in its paintings and sculpture which was a general longing of the classicism where the rise of Neoclassical era begun. The colors were sharper than those found in the Baroque or Rococo art that followed.

Using high emotion in the paintings they create the viewer to unlock all emotion they feel that is happening around them. Romantic artist use heroic events, actions, struggles for indepence from the government and politics. They embrace a sense of passion leaving behind any type of rational thinking.

Both artist portrayed what they believed in through their art, Even though they portrayed it differently they both stood up to what they believed in. As years pass by they seem to evolve from painting differently and using different colors and styles to get their point across, whether it’s political or emotional it had both a huge impact on the community. The main thing is that they do what they loved to send the community the messaged they wanted, The schools they attended to become these amazing artist, had amazing teachers, that is where it began. The school is where they discovered their passion for art.
Both artists’ paintings have become successful throughout the years. Through their similar use of line, movement, space, and color, they have created paintings that has been and will be seen by countless viewers. However, it is their contrasting use of value, emphasis, balance, and shape that have made their artwork different from one another, yet beautiful in their own way. It delivers a message to be different instead of going with the flow so that one day you, too, could be as successful as these painters.

Jules Verne heavily impacted science fiction and the technology of today through his novels. His science fiction novels grew popular and as a result made this genre well-known. More importantly, his novels predicted the moon landing, skyscrapers, submarines, planes, hot air balloons, and more.

Romanticism was an artistic and philosophical time period that occurred in Europe during the late 18th century. Many forms of art were introduced at this time, as were forms of poetry and unorthodox ideals coming from the creators of these pieces.

Romanticism was a reaction to the Enlightenment as a cultural movement, an aesthetic style, and an attitude of mind (210). Culturally, Romanticism freed people from the limitations and rules of the Enlightenment. The music of the Enlightenment was orderly and restrained, while the music of the Romantic period was emotional. As an aesthetic style, Romanticism was very imaginative while the art of the Enlightenment was realistic and ornate. The Romanticism as an attitude of mind was characterized by transcendental idealism, where experience was obtained through the gathering and processing of information. The idealism of the Enlightenment defined experience as something that was just gathered.
Baudelaire had a strong influence on Romanticism. Romanticism is a literary and art movement that occurred during the late 18th century that emphasized imagination, emotion, and love of nature. Baudelaire really liked Romanticism although he found himself “incapable of being moved by vegetation.” During the time he wrote “salon de 1846”, Baudelaire alleged that the ideal was represented by Romanticism. In “Salon de 1846” he wrote, "Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject nor in exact truth, but in a way of feeling" (Galitz). Baudelaire felt that the beauty in Romanticism was that artists and writers were looking inward to represent things in their own personal way while using nature as an inspiration for that self-exploration. In his book, Baudelaire: Selected Writing on Art and Artist, Baudelaire wrote, "Romanticism lies neither in the subjects an artist chooses nor in his exact copying of truth, but in the way he feels" (Baudelaire 52). Through this states how he views Romanticism and what attracts him to the movement. Throughout his life and for many years to come, Baudelaire had a significant inf...

These paintings usually contained women and children to symbolize love, sorrow, or despair. Impressionism began with Monet Renoir and Bazille. They all disliked the academic teaching so it was then they decided to paint with a new cause to be different and stand out.
Additionally, the styles changed; from Rococo, which was meant to represent the aristocratic power and the “style that (…) and ignored the lower classes” (Cullen), to Neoclassicism, which had a special emphasis on the Roman civilization’s virtues, and also to Romanticism, which performs a celebration of the individual and of freedom. Obviously, also the subject matter that inspired the paintings has changed as wel...

Christine Reigner Amy Dean English 242 24 March 2014 Realism versus Romanticism in the Victorian Age The Victorian Age demonstrates the changes that were going on in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries in England. England was the first to experience change in industry and become the first industrial nation, “Because England was the first country to become industrialized, its transformation was an especially painful one” (NAEL 1018). This is the time where realism overcame romanticism in literature. Realism was displayed in many different works and differed greatly from romanticism in several ways.
Romanticism does not mean laying dreamy-eyed in a field graced with flowers bathed in sunlight. It doesn’t actually refer to romance at it. The movement was about intense personal expression. It signifies a staunch individualist, conveying deep and often uplifting emotions, such as Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony that marked the start of the Romantic era in music (Wilder). Penetrating boundaries was an honorable ambition shared by the inventor...
