When was romanticism the major art form?

Romanticism emerged as a major art form in the late 18th century and flourished throughout the 19th century, roughly from the 1770s to the 1850s. It arose as a reaction against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and the formal constraints of Neoclassicism, emphasizing emotion, nature, and individualism. Romanticism influenced various artistic disciplines, including literature, painting, music, and architecture, leaving a lasting impact on the cultural landscape.
