Episode 54: Romanticism



Happy Valentines Day! (Or 'Single Awareness Day' if you prefer)

Put the dozen red roses in a vase, pull out the heart shaped box of chocolates, cuddle up with your significant other....or your cat, and enjoy the most unromantic art movement there ever was, romanticism.

Don't say we didn't warn you!

Casper David Friedrich, Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, 1818

Gericault, Raft of the Medusa, 1818-19  

Fuseli, The Nightmare, 1790

Fuseli, The Nightmare, 1781-82
