In the 19 century romantic period, it was widely believed that the world had lost its religious bearings during the Enlightenment and that men needed to recover them if there were ever again to be heroes and great works of imagination. In the Unbelieving Century God had become nonexistent or peripheral and bound by rational categories. How, then, to recover a living faith? Romantic religiosity luxuriated in a great many forms, but if these forms had anything in common, it was in the tendency to bring God back inside the Universe and to find him in the human heart and nature. It was also lead the romantics to find God in nature. A new religion of nature, Natural Supernaturalism called by Thomas Carlyle meant raising the natural to the supernatural.
This line of thought was exemplified by romantic landscape paintings like Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge, Runge tried to subvert the traditional hierarchy of genres of paintings at the academies of art. Although at that time whereas the history painting was the highest order of the genres, the landscape painting was the lowest because they were without narrative subject, Runge claimed the autonomy of the landscape paintings by creating new type of landscape of religion and emotion.
Romanticism had a several quite marked predispositions: an emphasis on particularity or individuality, and a sense of the infinite and the irrational component in human life, assimilation of the conscious and the unconscious. These tendencies of romantic art could give birth to offspring as modern art. The autonomy of modern art was achieved that 'art' had separated from any other
external contexts of the artwork itself.
But in the 21 century, is the autonomy of art realized? Can we say that art, which has already deviated from the region of art, lost the boundary to the everyday-life consciously and took within the continuity to it, is autonomous? I will be arguing about the art after romanticism by the autonomy of art as a key concept.
