The Romantic Period artists celebrated individualism and would strive to create works that conveyed emotion, imagination and spirituality through the natural world.
Artists would often depict nature as an unpredictable and unmerciful force, painting shipwrecks, storms, floods and Biblical events.
A commonality among artists of the time was a desire to create nostalgia for a simpler time using pastoral themes.
Each work was highly individualistic as were the artists who created them. Techniques varied, displaying anywhere from fluid, detailed paintings with oil on canvas to obscure watercolors.
