Romanticism Paintings

Romanticism in painting explored emotion, imagination, history, and nature in late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe. Delacroix shaped literary and historical scenes through color and movement, while Turner and Friedrich developed different approaches to landscape. Géricault's The Raft of the Medusa draws on a contemporary shipwreck; Turner's Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps places history beneath sweeping weather. These varied national traditions shared no single technique.
