A broad artistic and intellectual movement that originated in [[Europe]] in the late 18th century, emphasizing emotion, individualism, the sublime power of nature, and imaginative freedom. Key figures include [[Eugène Delacroix]]—whose [[The Abduction of Rebecca - Eugène Delacroix (1846)|The Abduction of Rebecca]] captures the movement's passion for dramatic narrative—[[Caspar David Friedrich]], [[J.M.W. Turner]], and [[Francisco Goya]]. It arose as a reaction against [[Neoclassicism]]'s rationalism and order, and against the dehumanizing effects of the [[Industrial Revolution]], championing passion and subjective experience.
