Why the Lusatian Romanticism is still relevant today

Sometimes painters hear that painting is only to be the reproduction of a very human feeling. The images that were taken in the age of Romanticism express this very visually. In the 19th century, the industrial age of the industrial era and the profound technological and social changes that resulted in it, many people longed back to the “good old” time. Pictures of mysteriously abandoned castles, enchanted landscapes or simply simple life distinguished this epoch.

Painting: Reproduction of a very human sensation

Strictly speaking, the age of Romanticism is a historical era that can be located in the 19th century. However, with a somewhat realistic view, the romance has remained alive to this day. This is particularly evident in Lusatia.

Romanticism made the castle and monastery ruins of the Oybin world famous

Painters made the ensemble of the castle and monastery ruins of the Oybin world famous. As a result, many people wanted to visit the seemingly enchanted place. This is how tourism came about in Lusatia. Hiking trails were built or repaired and mining buildings were expanded or reopened. Nothing significant has changed to this day.

The deep longing for the “good old” time

The deep longing for the “good old” Time has remained alive. In addition to the painters, the writers of the Romanticism also left their mark on. Human feelings are particularly addressed with eloquent descriptions. However, the Romanticism also has very visible achievements. The fine arts in particular experienced a real flower. Pictures were sometimesmore realistic than reality itself. Emergency writers managed to penetrate deep into the human mind.

Romance is still popular

The works of Romanticism are now part of the classical music, but are still very popular. Because the romance reflects a very human feeling. In addition to the very rational reality of numbers, data and facts – there is also a human feeling. What objective standards do you want to assess whether a painting is an outstanding work of art?What mathematical formula is poetry used to calculate? Ancient philosophers have already dealt with such questions. This later continued on the Enlightenment and Romanticism, up to our present day. The Lausitzer Bergland and many historical places in Lusatia are still advertised with the feeling of romanticism.
