Romanticism (1800-1850) in its artistic, political, philosophical and social aspects was in part
inspired by the revolts against aristocratic social and political norms of the late 18th century,
which found their romantic reenactment for example in the French Revolution of 1830, also known as
the July Revolution. It was a revolt by the middle class against Bourbon King Charles X which forced
him out of office and replaced him with the Orleanist King Louis-Philippe. Romanticism as an artistic
discipline was eventually replaced by naturalism and social realism towards the end of the 19th century
