Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on varieties of romanticism in art Paper must be at least 1250 words. Please, no plagiarized work! Looking closely at a particular finished artwork can help the viewer to understand important concepts within the given society, such as the relationship between women and men or the political forces at work. By comparing several works of the Romanticist period, one can begin to understand the underlying forces of the period and thus appreciate the individual approaches to a greater degree.

Romanticism focused on more direct emotional expression than the highly constructed neoclassicist approach that preceded it. “An interesting schematic explanation calls romanticism the predominance of imagination over reason and formal rules (classicism) and over the sense of fact or the actual (realism)” (Holman & Harmon, 2001). Characteristics of the style identified by Welleck (2003) include a “revolt against the principles of neo-classicism criticism, the rediscovery of older English literature, the turn toward subjectivity and the worship of external nature slowly prepared during the eighteenth century” (196). The period idolized the imagination as the highest of human capacities due largely in part to its creative abilities and as a means of reacting to sweeping change in every aspect of life. It also esteemed nature not only because of the creative element inherent in it, but also because of the manifestation of the imagination that could be found within it in the sense that we create what we see. The world was full of symbols and signs that would portend future events and actions which were knowable through their relationship to the myths and legends of antiquity. Thus, it was not necessary or even fully expressive to remain doggedly true to physical vision.

This approach to art can be seen as early as 1781 in the work of Henry Fuseli. In his numerous paintings and drawings, this artist chose to focus on elements of the imagination and its effects on the living experience of the human animal.

Though his leadership style was considered strong his actions were somewhat brutish in accomplishing his goals. Tactics that were used and the outcome of the war caused the deaths of more than 1500 soldiers and an undetermined amount of civilians (The Seminole Wars, 2012).

Osceola at a planned meeting to discuss the situation was actually captured and imprisoned when he requested peace talks. The harsh treaty terms forced on the Moskoki tribes by Jackson sent them seeking refuge in the thousand in Florida, later being the Seminole tribe. Jackson burned entire Indian towns, hanged one Indian by neck along with two Englishmen and also captured many Africans. Seminoles were actually tracked and hunted with bloodhounds and forced onto ships that would take them to New Orleans. Africans were sent to Arkansas and other lands and territories which were inhospitable to them. This was considered guerilla warfare and the likes of which were not used again until Vietnam.

2. Though Jackson was given the authorization to act in Florida by Monroe it was in such a way that Monroe did not want to appear to be responsible for the actions of Jackson. Calhoun, Crawford and Clay were annoyed and Calhoun who was Secretary of war was especially irate over the President’s and Jackson’s communication, attempting to bypass them. Jackson was required to appear before Congress to defend many of his actions and tactics used(University of Groningen, 2012).
