The art works salient in the 19th-century America are integral part of the Romantic Movement. Why they are part of the so-called romanticism is because their particular imagery and general visual appearance are the very definition of American romanticism. Thomas Cole’s “The Oxbow” and Frederic E. Church’s “The Heart of Andes” are perfect examples of landscape paintings that belong to the Romantic Movement. Cole’s “The Oxbow” belongs to the American Romantic Movement. In the 19th-century New World, romanticism in the field of visual art was widely viewed in terms of two main subjects: nature and man (Strickland, 2007).
The painting ignites many emotional responses in each individual viewer as a result of his unique, distinctively visual qualities. Commanding the left side of the painting is the flame-like shape of a huge cypress tree, an ancient symbol of death. Van Gogh has placed this tree over the top of the dramatic, celestial sky. This symbol of death overrules a large proportion of the painting, eliciting powerful emotions in the viewer as they are connected to thoughts of death. This is further enhanced by the use of serpentine, uneasy brush strokes of the tree.
He has used thick dabs of paint, using quick impressionistic brushstrokes. On the field, the strokes are short, quick dashes to get the effect and convey the texture of the field. Van Gogh has used thicker brushstrokes to paint the sky which create a swirling movement, leading the viewer’s eye to follow across the whole painting. The thickness of the paint give it a three dimensional texture as though it has been sculpted. The colour palette of the painting is vibrant and unnatural.
Through his subtle use of depth, atmosphere and form, the landscape appears to expand infinitely into space and nature seems to carry out its inevitable cycles to an endless rhythm. Through his expressive use of color, his painting arouses in us an emotional reaction to such sublime powers. It moves us to reflect on our own vulnerability at the mercy of nature, as we long for meaning and struggle to understand its provocative
Romantic artists, musicians, and writers were people in society who expressed their views with an emphasis on feeling, emotion, and experience. They viewed nature as an extreme power full of beauty and uniqueness. Their admiration for creativity plays an important role in the way they express. Romanticists didn’t like the materialistic things in the world. Romantic artists, musicians, and writers responded to the social, political, and economic changes in the 1800s by conveying their feelings and views in the work they were creating.
Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix (26 April 1798 – 13 August 1863) was a French Romantic artist regarded from the outset of his career as the leader of the French Romantic school. Delacroix's use of expressive brushstrokes and his study of the optical effects of color profoundly shaped the work of the Impressionists, while his passion for the exotic inspired the artists of the Symbolist movement. A fine lithographer, Delacroix illustrated various works of William Shakespeare, the Scottish writer Walter Scott and the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In contrast to the Neoclassical perfectionism of his chief rival Ingres, Delacroix took for his inspiration the art of Rubens and painters of the Venetian Renaissance, with an attendant emphasis on color and movement rather than clarity of outline and carefully modeled form. Dramatic and romantic content characterized the central themes of his maturity, and led him not to the classical models of Greek and Roman art, but to travel in North Africa, in search of the exotic.
The central irony of the "My Last Duchess" is of course that the Duke wanted so much to bring the Duchess's beauty within his own control, that he was willing to destroy her to do it. In “My Last Duchess” we find irony, diction, and imagery that creates a haunting effect. This irony that we are focusing in, is used by Browning altogether with the dramatic monologue with the purpose of producing a sinister and domineering effect. This irony allows the reader to question himself and put in him the desire of knowing the hidden message of the poem. In the poem, a portrait of the egocentric and power loving Duke of Ferrara is painted for us.

In the late eighteenth and early to mid nineteenth century a once realist Europe fell into the romantic era, becoming whimsical and imaginative were things had once been structured and focused on reason. Mary Shelley was one of the artistic individuals who would dig into their imaginations and push literature, in Frankenstein, to a bound that went beyond the realms of reality, embodying many elements of romanticism. The romantic era looked at the true beauty of nature, and human emotion, allowing free
This painting captures a sense of desperation in the wide open eyes and slight blush, it creates a theme of surprise or confusion, and it’s relative to the late romantic time period. Hands arched up. Face, full of anguish and surprise, is framed by the light and crimson-like glow of the wall. The male figure in the painting has tan-ish skin, dark hair, an olden day outfit, and a very crisp-white shirt. Thick lines make details bold.
