“Romanticism, attitude or intellectual orientation that characterized many works of literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography in Western civilization over a period from the late 18th to the mid-19th century.”

Romanticism in in landscape photography and art is a style that rejects classical aspects of an image and emphasises the other aspects. For example the nature and the emotion. This is shown in the deep colours of the foliage and the colour contrast between each item of the photo. Additionally, most images of this style often have a haze or tone over them which i think gives them a more old fashion style. This is also due to the style being popularised in the mid twentieth century around 1950 – 1960. This was after the popularisation of colour photography rather than black and white. In Romanticism landscapes the colours are often phased and blended together which reduces the sharpness of the contrast and colour changes. this provides a softer image to look at which therefore makes the image more relaxing to look at and gives a calmer feel. Romanticism can be seen in many different subjects of all different styles. For example poetry and art. Romanticism in art follows very similar patterns as the style in photography.
