The Sublime and Romanticism – Photoshoot

My favourite images:

I feel that these two images represent Romanticism well because the in the image appear small and weak in comparison to the enormous cliff edges behind them which highlights natures greatness and how much power it holds in contrast to mankind. I also feel as if it shows how such beautiful things go unnoticed, for example there isn’t a single person paying attention to the incredible natural structure behind them. This is a key feature of why Romanticism began and I think this image encapsulates that.

I feel that this image also has representation of the sublime due to the vibrant greenery and flowers towards the foreground of the image, whilst a dark looming cloud hovers over this beauty as if it is all about to be destroyed. This also reflects well as the eyes travel up over the hills, getting darker and darker further into the background.

I feel that this image represents Romanticism because over every hill and mountain, there are hundreds and hundreds of houses and buildings taking over this natural space, showing the large amount of urbanisation within this area. This indirectly represents Romanticism.
