Neoclassicism and Romanticism were two important movements that responded to the ideas popular during the Enlightenment. These ideas focused on logic and order, but Neoclassicism and Romanticism added more feelings and complexity to how we think about nature.

• Neoclassicism:

  • This movement valued structure and self-control. It often showed nature in an idealized way, inspired by classical art. However, it had trouble expressing emotions fully.

• Romanticism:

  • This movement looked at personal experiences and the powerful feelings we can get from nature. It showed a world that is wild and unpredictable, which went against the calm reasoning of the Enlightenment.

These differing views created challenges. It was hard to combine what we understand scientifically with how we feel emotionally.

Potential Solutions:

• We could have conversations that bring together science and emotions. This might help us understand nature better as a whole.
• Using ideas from both art and science could help connect them, letting them support and enrich each other.
