ROMANTICISM

Romanticism



Romanticism is defined by its defiance of inherited artistic or intellectual conventions

Do you agree or disagree with the proposition?

Yes, I agree with the proposition that romanticsim is defined by its defiance of inherited artistic or intellectual conventions. This is because Romanticism was a movoment against the neo-classicism. It started in the last years of eighteenth century. This movement was against fiery work of Alexander pope and Dryden. This movement brought revolution against monopoly of rules and regulation for the sake of common people. It has touched to imagination and heart. It was just as return to nature according to William Words worth. The active poets of this movement were William Words Worth, S. T. Coleridge, John Keats, Byron, P. B. Shelly T. S. Eliot etc (Casey, Christopher, 2008).

It was a revolution against the fiery work of Alexander pope and Dryden and was in deviance to them. For this very purpose, I agree with the preposition that Romanticism is defined by its defiance of inherited artistic or intellectua; conventions (Casey, Christopher, 2008).

Plausible explanation of second and third texts

The reason that I have choosen these two texts is that, Delacroix was an artist who competes strongly with British romanticist artists who dominated this art movement, leaving Delacroix remaining to lead the French group of artists who were also involved with this style of painting which involved emotional depictions of topics rather than the traditional methods which involved covering everything exactly as it appeared to the artist (Casey, Christopher, 2008).

Concluding, Eugene Delacroix is an important artist for several reasons which has led to him becoming someone who was both respected by the art public and academics alike. Delacroix was the spearhead of French Romanticist art as well as covering very important scenes from the French Revolution with his highly skilled brush strokes. Few famous French artists have achieved success within this art movement and as such Delacroix's contributions are very important. One reason for Delacroix taking up this art movement was from his travels around the UK which at the time had offered up many highly skilled painters who were strongly linked to Romanticism, such as JMW Turner for example (Ruthven, 2001).
