Romanticism is an artistic/ intellectual movement from the 18th century in Western Europe. 

It stressed strong emotions through music, art, and culture. 

It was somewhat a revolt against the government, aristocratic norms, and social organization. 

Horror and Awe were two emotiopns deeply stressed in these works of art.  

It was influenced through the enlightenment... because it was kind of a Counter- Enlightenment.
