Title: Romanticism
Description: Around the year 1800, philosophers, writers, and artists in Germany began to propagate a new vision of the world they described as "romantic". The term covered a range of ideas: that nature was informed with the divine spirit and that the individual human imagination could immerse itself in the universal fabric; but also that the creative mind, being profoundly solitary, would yearn for harmony between man and nature.
