Technically, the term ÃÂ RomanticÃÂ nowadays is defined like something belong to our emotion when we fuse our happy feeling together and create a ÃÂsweetÃÂ mood that can make us feel like out of the world. Besides, ÃÂromanticÃÂ is also used to imply something unrealizable. However, back to the Romantic Era when the term ÃÂRomanticÃÂ was defined different comparing with it meaning nowadays.
In the book Culture and Values: A Survey of the Humanities, the first meaning of ÃÂromanticÃÂ was defined ÃÂ First was the important emphasis they placed on personal feeling and their expressionÃÂ(447). Artist at this time was no longer influenced by the early eighteenth century art, their styles followed by their personal feeling. For instance, Francisco Goya who painted The Family of Charles. In his point of view, he depicted the royal family ÃÂInstead of grace and elegance, GoyaÃÂs patrons radiate arrogance, vanity, and stupidityÃÂ(462). In fact, when we look at this painting, we hardly recognize that this is a kingÃÂs family because the faces of the characters are so ugly and innocent, opposite with what we usually think about a royal family.
ÃÂRomanticÃÂ could also means fear or drama, it sounds unreasonable or contradiction with the meaning of the word romantic that we usually think about. In fact, in the Romantic Era, through GoyaÃÂs painting Execution of the Madrilenos, he expressed his anger by depicting a dramatic scene. Soldiers without their face, the dim light aims to the execute victim and the fear of the innocent people plus with their blood. All of this created a dramatic scene or a horror of war. We could see the authorÃÂs emotion here, Goya tried to convey his own emotion thought the execution and because he was a great artist thus his emotion became our own.

Romanticism
This essay shows a very weak understanding of English at a fundamental level. It has run-ons, comma splices, and dreadful word uses that make it almost unreadable. Further, the understanding of "romanticism" is poor to the point of complete confusion.
In short, this is a dangerously poor essay.
