Romanticism

No single style or technique.

Highly imaginative and subjective approach

Emotional intensity

Dream-like or visionary quality

Affintiy with nature

Wild, mysterious, exotic, meloncholy, passionate, melodramatic, awe inspiring

Moving from reason towards feeling and imagination

Nationalistic feelings

Endless pursuit of the unattainable

John Mallord William Turner

Eugene Delacroix

Francisco (Jose) de Goya
