A broad artistic and intellectual movement that originated in Europe in the late 18th century, emphasizing emotion, individualism, the sublime power of nature, and imaginative freedom. Key figures include Eugène Delacroix—whose The Abduction of Rebecca captures the movement’s passion for dramatic narrative—Caspar David Friedrich, J.M.W. Turner, and Francisco Goya. It arose as a reaction against Neoclassicism’s rationalism and order, and against the dehumanizing effects of the Industrial Revolution, championing passion and subjective experience.
