At first, I thought Romanticism focused only on emotion. When we got to the actual definition, I learned that movement, action, and color were key elements in this style. Every painting seemed to be a snapshot moment frozen in time. I liked how intense these paintings were and how they immediately commanded a reaction from the viewer. It is like being part of what was happening and feeling connected to the emotions by reading the characters expressions. Body language and facial expression were most dramatic in Romanticism for easy interpretation.
Neo-Classicism, which brought back a lot of Roman traditions. It was also against Baroque and Rococo. Artists of this time wanted to return to more pure subject matter.
Realism is litterally the "real" aspects of life and opposed exhaggerated scenes full of emotion. Photography was very popular at the time and also light was brought into paintings.
