Question

Romanticism differs from neoclassicism in that it

Answer 1

Neoclassicism and romanticism are often considered to be opposing movements. The main difference between neoclassicism and romanticism is that neoclassicism emphasized on objectivity, order, and restraint whereas romanticism emphasized on imagination and emotion.

Answer 2

The comparison of Romanticism with the movement that immediately preceded it may present relationships that help to better understand the difference of one style and another.

Obviously this exercise does not mean to put Romanticism in opposition to Neoclassicism, because many characteristics, in the moments of transition, are common to both schools.

In Neoclassicism there is a predominance of reason, a cult of classical forms, an attachment to mythology, a mimetic (imitation) aspect of nature. Romanticism is more emotional, less attached to universal issues and more linked to the valorization of the self (subjectivism).
