Answer
Herder was a preeminent figure of Weimar Classicism, an influential period in German literature, philosophy, and art from 1790 to 1832. It aimed to revive classical ideals and forms, blending elements from Greek and Roman antiquity with modern sensibilities. This marked a shift from the ornate, highly figurative style of the earlier Romantic movement. Weimar Classicism emphasized harmony, balance, and emotional restraint, and became a cornerstone of German cultural history.
