Romanticism
Romanticism was created by artists who had introduced this art movement in 1750 and 1850, which originated from Western Europe indicating the feelings towards the aristocratic, social and political to remove the strict rules of classicism. This specific art movement was based from the individualism, subjectivism, irrationalism, imagination, emotions and nature of a person’s understanding. Since they were in revolt against the orders, they favoured the revival of potentially unlimited number of styles (anything that aroused them). Romantic artists were fascinated by the nature, the genius, their passions and inner struggles, their moods, mental potentials, the heroes. They investigated human nature and personality, the folk culture, the national and ethnic origins, the medieval era, the exotic, the remote, the mysterious, the occult, the diseased, and even satanic. Romantic artist had a role of an ultimate egoistic creator, with the spirit above strict formal rules and traditional procedures. Casper David Friedrich, John Constable, J.M.W Turner, Eugene Delacroix, Francisco Goya, Theodore Gericault, Henry Fuseli, Antoine-Jean Gros, William Blake, etc, were artists who expressed their emotions using romanticism in art, literature and music.

Casper Friedrich painted this image with oils on a piece of canvas with care and precision, this was produced directly from nature. The centre of interest has been established by creating an emphasis on a particular part of the work by detail (giving the subject
