A Change of Heart

The way I view this change is that the Romantic poets or painters etc actually went out to the world and saw what really existed. They thought that nature was the best and to follow emotions. Well, they sat at home and followed emotions. Now these photographers are going out and taking pictures of the event, so they now realized that what really happens outside is cruel and get a peak into the lives of ordinary people. They worshiped heroes in their Romantic ideal. Very in touch with nature, etc, but instead, they saw that the real heroes were not these archetype Romantic heroes. The real heroes are those who fight for freedom, such as the ordinary folk who fought against each other in the Civil war. The ones who fight for what they believe in. They also witnessed the scenes of these battlefields etc, so they probably thought of it as an opportune moment to draw upon the ideas. Because Romanticism gets boring after a while. Also, not to mention the fact that they opened their eyes, they also changed their heart and feelings in regards to this. This is all I can say about this.
