Romanticism: Feelings
built 123 days ago
In France the formative stage of Romanticism coincided with the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815), and the first French Romantic painters found their inspiration in contemporary events. Antoine-Jean Gros began the transition from Neo-Classicism to Romanticism by moving away from the sober style of his teacher, Jacques-Louis David, to a more colourful and emotional style, influenced by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, which he developed in a series of battle paintings glorifying Napoleon.

Romanticism is the first modern formation. It subsists still, and does so the more powerfully because so many are unaware of how it works. Romanticism's major innovations were many. The one that lingers most strongly, perhaps as strongly now as in the halcyon days of Romanticism, is the attribution of meaning to an agonistically defined version of individual suffering. It differs profoundly from the earlier value located in Christ's suffering because it arrogates that value to the everyday individual's sense of exclusion (and to this extent is derivative of the earlier sense-making system). But it does so ... absurd or trivial that suffering may be and, in the postmodern era, however value-less the event that led to the suffering taking place (so victim-status can be claimed as well by a mountaineer victim who falls off, as a mudslide victim, as a victim of terrorist attack).

Romanticism is basically Eastern Religion that rejects reason and amounts to mindless mysticism. Romanticism ... seems to share things in common with Gnosticism. It also seems to vary from one person to the next just what it does mean. This is often the case with belief systems that rely on irrationalism and feelings.
