Today’s lecture was online, but still super informative. We began by wrapping up our discussion of neoclassicism and beginning our discussion of romanticism. This transition clearly marked a switch in the ideals of artists. This was reflected through differences in the artwork we looked at over the past two classes. Romanticism is classified by an embrace of emotion and feeling in painting. This felt super engaging to me as a viewer and brought up a more emotional reaction than some of the artwork we have looked at in the past.
