3:04 — Isn’t It Romanticism?

Allison and Michael discuss the important transition from the Baroque to the Romantic era. Why did Nature vs. Civilization become such a central theme of Romantic artists, and why does it still matter? Special thanks to Dr. Sachs from Kennesaw State University for his contributions on the relationship between the Neo-Classical and Romantic movements. And stay tuned at the end to hear Philip Hodges play the first movement of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” arranged for classical guitar.   “The Savage State”The Course of EmpireThomas Cole1834 “The Arcadian or Pastoral State”The Course of EmpireThomas Cole1834 “The Consummation of Empire”The Course of EmpireThomas Cole1836 “Destruction”The Course of EmpireThomas Cole1836 “Desolation”The Course of EmpireThomas Cole1836
