In the early 1800s, Europe was undergoing significant changes, evident in two distinct artistic movements. We explore the majestic cities adorned with grand Neoclassical architecture featuring impressive columns and domes. At the same time, the Revolution has sparked a yearning for both political and personal liberation. We encounter powerful Romantic artworks that express intense emotions and celebrate the magnificence of Nature, while also visiting enchanting castles that serve as idealized representations of Romanticism.
