        The rise of Romanticism in the C19th progressively emphasised the expression of the artist's feelings and there was a corresponding decrease in emphasis on imitation

        PROBLEM IS THAT their coverage appears limited
        
        *Art is a shadow on a cave which needs to be escaped, because it distracts people from more vivid forms and truth.
