•Past: Longing for the medieval past, pre-industrial Europe (Gothic architecture will be revived). •Irrational/Inner mind/Insanity: Romantic artists depict the human psyche and topics that transcend the use of reason. One Romantic artist, Gericault, chose to do portraits of people in an insane asylum. •Nature: Longing for the purity of nature, which defies human rationality. •Emotion/Exotic: Romantics favored emotion and passion over reason. Exotic themes and locales were also popular because they did not adhere to European emphasis on rationality.
