    German Romanticism

    In the philosophy, art, and culture of German-speaking countries, German Romanticism was the dominant movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The early German romantics tried to create a new synthesis of art, philosophy, and science, looking to the Middle Ages as a simpler, more integrated period. This time was made famous by composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Richard Wagner, and Carl Maria von Weber.
