Romantic Era

Transcript: From 1650- 1700 Enlightenment began to spark throughout Europe. Enlightenment was the belief that humans were blessed with reason, and that they could fight ignorance and sin of reason. The Enlightenment flourished until about 1790–1800. After this time period, Romanticism began to give way. People started out using their ideas to speak for the church, but ended up opposing it. People wanted more freedom and less strict rules throughout creativity and society. Soon, they were abandoning the philosophers' strict rules and the Enlightenment which they imposed on society. The Enlightenment thinkers and the Romantics were similar in the way that they both appreciated nature, however the philosophers were more of the idea that nature was subject to laws of the universe- including Newton's laws. When the French Revolution began to peak, chaos broke out in both politics and society. Then the Industrial Revolution came which created more unrested. Composers and Artists used Romanticism to express how they felt. The Romantic era is during a period of great change and emancipation. Previousley, in the Classical era, there were strict rules and laws describing how all artists were to carry out their skills. Beethoven rejected previous strict formulas for symphonies and sonatas, and introduced this whole new approach to music, giving his works references to other aspects of life. With these new freedoms, birth was given to some of the most creative techniques in a long time. People were given the opportunity to experiment their skills and techniques. When it came to art, artists used heavy use of colors to disiplay a strong and heavy emotion. Because of the political backround of the Romantic Era, composers and artists wrote and painted about escape from political oppression. Mostly, the mood of the artwork would portray a feeling of lonliness, death, and depression. Painters of the Time A French painter who introduced the neoclassical style in France.
