Romanticism began in 1789, right after the French Revolution and ended in industrialism around 1810. The Romantic era was
a reaction against the neo-classical quest for order and intellectual control in artistic style. This paper
examines artwork which focus on nature and the natural world. The
paintings examines are Albert Bierstadt's "Lander's Peak", J.M.W. Turner's "The Slave Ship" and Frederic Edwin Church's "Rainy Season in the Tropics." The writer concludes that these paintings show good descriptions on how the Romantic period shows its love of nature.
