- Art, music, and literature from 1450-2000 was characterized by the many different styles of the different eras. The first of these movements was the Renaissance. In this time, literature and art was taken largely from Roman, Greek, and other classical figures. The Baroque period came next. It used dramatics and light (shading/shadows) to emphasize it's look. After came Romanticism, which went against Enlightenment ideals and emphasized emotions, isolation from society, and nature. This era was replaced by modern movements, including impressionism, realism, and surrealism. Each part of the artistic era is still studied and used by artists today.
