Originated in Europe towards the end of the 18th century, peaking from approximately 1800 to 1850.
The founders of Romanticism, August Wilhelm Schlegel and Friedrich Schlegel, began using the term “romantische Poesie” (“romantic poetry”) in the 1790s.
The term “Romanticism” derives from the word “romance”, referring to chivalric tales of adventure, devotion, and honor.
The movement emphasized emotion, individualism, and glorification of the past and nature, and preferred the medieval over the classical.
Partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and the ideology of the Age of Enlightenment, particularly its scientific rationalization of nature.
🦋 Personally, I’ve always felt connected to nature in a romantic sense. It helps me remove my ego and live in the present.
Huge shoutout to @lexs_diffusion for the stunning visuals!!! Your work is a big inspiration.

I love that quote-what you feel, you attract. The Universe responds to vibrations far and above our awareness.
