What’s your definition of romantic?

Romantic? Small gestures of affection.

There was a time in history known as the Romantic Era. Generally thought to be roughly from 1780-1850. But obviously, lines do blur along  cultural timelines.

It is the Post Romantic  landscape that must have been a wonderful time to be a Creative. Especially as there was a strong reaction to the Industrial Revolution bringing about emotions, which could be perfrctly expressed through the arts.

Although there were plenty of jobs and people flocked from the rural areas to the cities, it was soul destroying to witness. The poets, designers, philosophers, and dreamers saw only soot and smokestack. A spiritual unravelling.

Think Arts & Crafts, Pre Raphelites, Gothic Revival, Realism, Modernist.

What a wonderful rich tapestry to be a thread in.
