French Romanticism
French Romanticism refers to the artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that emerged in France in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Characterized by an emphasis on emotion, individualism, and the beauty of nature, French Romanticism sought to break free from the constraints of neoclassical ideals and celebrate the imagination and creative spirit of the individual. Artists and writers of the French Romantic movement often explored themes of passion, exoticism, and the supernatural, creating works that were deeply emotional and expressive. Key figures of French Romanticism include writers such as Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, as well as artists like Eugène Delacroix.
