The Art of Romanticism

I chose “Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld” by Camille Corot. This painting tells the story of two lovers that did anything to be together (see description picture below). Romantic poetry is, as the name implies, very romantic. The most common themes in romantic poems are emotion, nature, and idealism. Most romantic poetry are love poems. This painting shows idealism because the couple in the painting is trying to accomplish an unrealistic task. This painting embodies romanticism because it has idealism, emotion, and nature.
