Romanticism was an attitude or philosophical orientation that marked numerous works of Western civilization's literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. Order, serenity, harmony, proportion, idealization, and rationalism, which characterized, were rejected by Romanticism. It was also a response to the Enlightenment and 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism. The individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the metaphysical were all emphasized in Romanticism.
