What is a key characteristic of Romanticism in art?

Use of muted colors
Focus on realism and factual description
Glorification of heroes and nature
Strict adherence to Neoclassical forms

The correct answer is: Glorification of heroes and nature

A key characteristic of Romanticism in art is the glorification of heroes and nature. This movement emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as a response to the rationalism and order of the previous Neoclassical period. Romantic artists sought to express deep emotions and a reverence for the sublime aspects of nature. They often depicted dramatic scenes, heroic figures, and sublime landscapes that evoked feelings of awe and inspiration. The focus on individual experience and the emotional impact of natural beauty is a hallmark of Romantic art, distinguishing it from movements that prioritize strict adherence to form or factual representation.
