6. Use at least three different detailed examples to explain the shift in culture
1. Subject Matter and Themes
Romanticism: Romantic artists and writers often explored fantastical and idealized themes, such as heroic figures,
exotic landscapes, and supernatural elements. For instance, in literature, the works of authors like Lord Byron and Mary
Shelley showcased themes of passion, individualism, and the sublime, as seen in Byron's "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" or
Shelley's "Frankenstein."
Realism: In contrast, Realist artists and writers depicted everyday life with accuracy focusing on ordinary people and
their everyday struggles. For example, Gustave Courbet's painting "The Stonebreakers" portrays two laborers engaged
in menial work, emphasizing the harsh realities of poverty and manual labor.
2. Representation of Nature
Romanticism: Romantic artists often depicted nature as a powerful and sublime force, imbued with spiritual and
mystical qualities. Paintings by artists like Caspar David Friedrich, such as "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog," evoke a
sense of awe and wonder in the face of the natural world, emphasizing its grandeur and transcendental significance.
Realism: Realist artists approached nature with a more objective and empirical perspective, portraying it as it appeared
in everyday life. Artists like Jean-François Millet captured rural landscapes and agricultural scenes with a focus on
precise detail and naturalistic observation, as seen in his painting "The Gleaners," which depicts peasant women
harvesting crops in a field.
3. Treatment of Character and Emotion
Romanticism: Romantic literature often featured larger-than-life characters driven by intense emotions and passions.
Characters were often portrayed as archetypal figures embodying virtues or vices, with their inner lives and emotions
