Romanticism Assignment 5: Romanticist Art

The painting shows a scene in the wilderness with the sun breaking through the clouds over a lake. This landscape is Romanticist because it is glorifying nature and depicting it in an idealistic sort of way. Though it is not a work of writing it arouses the same sort of thoughts and feeling that associated with Romanticist writers, particulary of escaping into nature.

This image is an example of romanticism in art because it communicates the vast mystery of nature. The fog dissipating in the morning light displays a sense of wonder at the new.
