The opening thumbnail shows Lake
The opening thumbnail shows Lake Geneva: a beautiful body of water surrounded by the sublime Swiss Alps. But it's also a place with a dark past. The torturous citadel in the mid-ground inspired Lord Byron's "Prisoner of Chillon" and the storms upon its water helped set the mood for both The Vampyre and Frankenstein.
This is just one example of how you can use visual art to examine literary Romanticism.
Main elements of Romanticism:
Love of Nature
Focus on Emotion
Fascination with the Sublime
Individualistic
Byronic Heroes
Interest in the Supernatural
Love of Beauty
=====================================================
Paintings in order of their appearance:
"The Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli
"Lord Byron in Albanian Dress" by Phillips Thomas
"Manfred and the Alpine Witch" by John Martin
"Wanderer above the Sea of Fog" by Caspar David Friedrich
