Romanticism

These works span sweeping landscapes, mythic drama, portrait photography, still life, marine painting, and sporting art, all touched by Romanticism's feeling for nature and emotion. Oaks, castles, roses, chrysanthemums, ships, horses, and gods and dragons appear with equal weight, rendered in rich, moody tones. The mood shifts from quiet domestic study to heroic struggle against sea and sky.
