Christian Art: Romantic Era
The neoclassical era persisted up to this day. But that didn’t stop a new art movement from rising. During the mid to late 19th century, artists began to put emphasis on imagination and emotion. Carefree and passionate, this new movement produced some of the greatest works in history. And it spelled changes in Christian art. This movement was Romanticism. It was a reaction against the rigid intellectualism and strict structure of the older art movements.
