Romanticism is a literary and artistic trend that appeared in Germany and England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and flourished in France in the nineteenth century.

Romanticism is opposed to "reason", and is characterized by the expression of personal feelings, a less restrictive and free form. The Romantic approach transcends reality by means of fantasy or vintage. The French word romantic means affectionate and sentimental.

Romanticism in painting is opposed to classicism, represented by the official academy, and is characterized by its emphasis on individuality, fantasy and exaggeration, the choice of shocking events as subject matter, and emotional excitement.
