So, here is the final verdict on your preferences in art:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Style: romanticism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre: genre painting<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that you prefer romanticist genre paintings tells much more about you than your favourite movie, book or your best friend. Why is that and what makes these paintings so unique? Genre paintings present scenes from everyday life that are depicted from different perspectives depending on the style.<\/p>\n

With realists<\/a><\/span>, for instance, the genre scenes portray life of a certain type of people rather than an individual person \u2013 like damsels marrying men they distaste following their fathers\u2019 orders; or landholders stroking their grayhounds in front of hungry bondmen; the drab routine of toilers etc. Realist genre paintings serve as a photographic data slice on a certain type of people. In impressionism genre scenes highlight the fleeting moments of joyful life, the ephemeral quality of the world around, rather than the actions and characters of people in the paintings.<\/p>\n

As for romanticists<\/strong>\u2026 well, they are so romantic \u2026 Genre paintings are drastically different in romanticism, they have a special flavor and color stipulated by the style. We remember that romanticists take absolute freedom as the basis of human and universal existence. The world is chaotic and creative \u2013 everything is possible, and nothing is stable and limited. The artists celebrated anything that goes beyond the boundaries of reasoning and patterns. Hence the subjects and the characters are exotic and adventurous, breathing of heroism and the free spirit, they can be anything but ordinary. In romanticist genre scenes poets are versifying, nuns are dreaming of gentlemen, pageboys are evesdropping and sneak peeking on their signoras, gypsies are dancing, the anachorets are praying\u2026 nobody is running off the mill, nothing is boring enough to get thoroughly studied. The canvases are explicitely dynamic, since the fundamental subject of romanticism is the struggle in all of its aspects: the struggle of man against the world, history or nature\u2026 up to the point of struggling with himself. Anything better than peace and quietude. Offbeat people and subjects require offbeat representation \u2013 the flamboyant colours, deep contrasts, complex semitones are sparkling, intoxicating, and infatuating the viewer. Note the ban on the black and the affection for the brown as the noble colour of mystery that symbolizes time and history, the past where the romantic artists found their inspiration.<\/div>

A person who prefers romantic genre scenes<\/strong> disdains the routine. The pursuit of the goal is much more important for him than the destination prize. He is thorough and consistent, places large demands on self and others. He won\u2019t let the financial rewards get the upper hand over his principles and values. He is focused on relishing the daily treats of life, like a cup of coffee in the morning, a walk in the park, a ride to work \u2013 and he will definitely have the right accessories for that: a favourite cup, a well-selected choice of teas, a thoughtfully mixed playlist, well-matched clothes. He enjoys talking to people he hardly knows, since it is the small things and moments that make up our life, not the few major achievements that we usually hang up on. This person is ambitious and enthusiastic, he needs to be in the limelight, and works for recognition and respect. Mediocre people won\u2019t stay around him for a long time, which should be taken into consideration by this person\u2019s employers, subordinates, spouse and friends.<\/p>\n
