    Romanticism was an artistic movement that emphasized emotion, nature, and individuality between the late 18th and mid-19th centuries. It reacted against Enlightenment rationalism. Romantic literature featured emotional sensitivity to nature while later works grew more subversive. Romantic art depicted landscapes and seascapes rather than historical scenes. Realism emerged in the mid-19th century as a reaction to Romanticism, seeking to depict everyday life truthfully through stories of ordinary people and accurate realistic artwork about middle and lower class society. It aimed to present stories and situations factually rather than dramatizing them.
