Romanticism•art movement that extends from 1800 to
1850
•The word romantic first became current in 18th-century English and originally meant “romance-like,” that is, resembling the strange and fanciful character of medieval romances. The word came to be associated with the emerging taste for wild scenery, “sublime” prospects, and ruins, a tendency reflected in the increasing emphasis in aesthetic theory on the sublime as opposed to the beautiful.
