WHAT IS LANDSCAPE ROMANTICISM:
There is no uniformity of opinion on what constitutes a Romantic landscape, and more problematically what actually defines the parameters of Romanticism itself (1). Whether speaking of landscape or other Romantic genre, there is no unifying or material principle anymore than there is a basis to secure either a national or international style of Romantic Landscape painting. When we speak of Romanticism we are speaking at best of a particular tendency of creative sensibility. As regards Romantic landscape and/or mountainous settings, a common and sentient focus of both Romantic poets and painters, their relationship exists most often in a tendency to an intensified personal subjectivity. But taken further while there may be a broad agreement that there is a certain sensibility of perception, it might also be argued that these perceptions are also shaped and defined by the topography of the particular landscape or mountain scenes chosen. Therefore any distinction between English and German Romantic landscape theory, while attended by a certain general sense of shared sensibility, is nonetheless different in terms of the particular landscape settings that were perceived. But necessarily and by natural extension they are also differential framed by the epistemological consciousness of the persons perceiving them.
