Romanticism
CURATED COLLECTIONPainting and printmaking from the late eighteenth to the mid nineteenth century gather here under the movement that prized emotion, imagination and the power of nature over classical restraint. Caspar David Friedrich's solitary figures before vast landscapes and J.M.W. Turner's dissolving light and weather are among the clearest statements of Romantic ideas, while history and literature supplied dramatic, often violent subject matter elsewhere in the movement. Interest in the medieval past, the exotic and the sublime in nature runs throughout. The collection sits deliberately against the ordered classicism that Romantic artists were reacting against.
