Define the characteristics of the Romantic sensibility and discuss the differences in approach from the artists of the Classical era. Choose one masterwork in each area—visual art, music, and literature—and describe how the artworks reflect the themes, such as love, nature, and revolution, that were common in 19th-century art.
Your paper should be typed with double-spaces. The writing style needs to be formal: no personal tense, no contractions, and no colloquialisms. Develop your thoughts into clearly defined paragraphs (at least three sentences and a topic sentence). Your grade will be based on both content and writing style. In-text citations (author, page) should be used for original ideas or direct quotations. Research is not required, but use Works Cited at the conclusion of the paper if you have quoted sources.
