The year 1800 in art is often estimated to be the beginning of the change from the Neoclassicism movement, that was based on Roman art, to the Romantic movement, which encouraged emotional art and ended around 1850 and brought forth a new era of artistic exploration. Artists of that time departed from traditional norms, embracing fresh ideas and diverse subjects. This era blended classical principles with innovative concepts, capturing both contemporary life and historical stories. The art in 1800 set the foundation for later 19th-century movements, inspiring a new era of artistic creativity that continued to shape the course of artistic development for years to follow.[1]
