This picture coming from the mid west of a nice romantic river for a nice couple who just met to go and have there first date there. He painted this because he knows the colors and the moon how the color hits the painting really makes it beautiful. i personally think its beautiful.

Alpine By Joseph Mallord William Turner

Alpine is by Joseph Mallord William Turner. The painting shows a mountainous region, the area contains a river between the two mountains. In the painting you see the people down at the bottom and a boat in the river. These people aren't painted clearly because the focus of the painting is the scenery. The painting doesn't contain bright colors. The colors are unclear and in the background the color becomes dull and foggy to show the fog at the higher altitudes. The painting has a even rhythm with the brush strokes being abstract. The colors of the painting fade out in the back to represent the fog. The colors are brighter in the front and express the bright colors of the surrounding mountains.

This painting by Albert Bierstadt is called "Immigrants crossing the prairie". Albert Bierstadt is one of the most prominent romantic artists and this is one of his less famous pieces of art. This year would have been the 110th anniversary of his death. He painted the American west and was a German immigrant. His paintings are some what hard to find now because his studio burned down in an accident. The ones that still exist are true works of art.
Albert Bierstadt's style uses bright colors and everything seems to glow. This painting is no exception, it has a radiance to it that gives the sunset a realism. The natural form of the picture gives a better natural feel to the painting

Mount Madison by the Androscoggin River - William Hart

·         Hart was born in Paisley, Scotland, He went to America along with his family while he was still young. He was an apprentice to a carriage painter at Albany, New York, and his first artistic experience was in decorating the panels of coaches with landscapes.

·         He exhibited his first work at the National Academy of Design in 1848. He then became a full member in 1858, and continued to show his paintings there regularly through the mid 1870s. Hart was a member of the American Watercolor Society, and was its president from 1870 to 1873. Like most of the other major American artists of that time, Hart settled in New York City, where he opened a studio in the Tenth Street Studio building in 1858.

The Strokes of this art piece is relatively smooth-looking. My focus heads towards the middle, towards the mid-lining hills. The contrast between the bright colored sky and the relatively dark lake makes me want to see the convergence point between the two contrasting elements. The colors of this painting are primarily green and yellow in the foreground, while the background, the sky, is blue. The green is albeit darker than that of the blue, further suggesting the contrast between the two. The one framing comes from the trees on the left. 

In the Catskills by Thomas Doughty

Thomas Doughty was an American artist of the Hudson River School. He was born in Philadelphia and was the first American artist to work exclusively as a landscapist. His paintings often expressed an entrance type of atmosphere entering the landscape. Thomas Doughty was known to have painted in the rivers, valleys, and mountains of Pennsylvania, New York, New England, and especially the Hudson River Valley. He taught himself how to paint while apprenticing for a leather manufacturer.

This painting show what a beautiful land American has to offer in all of its sanctuary and peace. At first glance you can see an enormous mountain in the background through a haze; this mountain is outlined by outlying hills to emphasize how large the mountain really is. Following down to the reflections of the hills in the lake shows great detail in how smooth the water really is and how calm the water becomes. The trees lastly offer a great deal of quietness and calm sanctuary of the whole lake as a place to escape and be alone in your own world outside of civilization.

Thomas Doughty was known for his unique landscapes although the brushstrokes set him apart in this painting, he uses loose strokes to detail the impressions in the painting; it develops a hazed image of the area. The colors you mainly see are a dark green to gloom the setting down, blue to express the mountain in the background and the reflection in the water, and brown to represent the hills and dirt spread around throughout nature. Another color some may see is the yellow tint he placed upon the weeds and the grass to brighten the entrance into the painting. His painting all comes together with the colors blending to see a relaxing image that is not busy being filled with colors rather it has the smooth calm effect by keeping the color size to a minimum and making it as a sanctuary for peace.

Distant view of Niagara Falls 1830

Thomas Cole was a very well known american painter. He is known as the founder of the Hudson River School. He was born on February 1st 1801-February 11th 1848, only died at the age of 47. His work was known for the realistic and detailed portrayal of american landscape and wilderness. His themes for every paintings were romantic and naturalism. the picture shows a lot of dark lines which brings out a lot in the painting. There is a waterfall that is in the middle of the painting which is the brightest part of the picture.
The texture of the painting goes from smooth to ruff, going from the water and shy being smooth and the land being darker and ruff and color. The overall colors are mostly dark except for the middle of the painting where it has a beautifully painted waterfall. Most of the shapes in the painting are smooth and rounded. This affect makes it look very smooth and brings out a lot of the contrast. The texture looks ruff but has a soft and smooth feel to it.
The composition in the picture is focused towards the middle. But your eyes go from left to right because of the way the painting was painted. The balance of the painting is more towards the right of the picture. Even thought the painting is focused in the middle, the way the balance is your eyes drift towards the right. The overall picture is very nice and has great smaller details.

Mt. Rainier by Albert Biernstadt

This painting is named Mt. Rainier by Albert Biernstadt. I love this picture because of the progression of the picture. Your attention is immediately grabbed by the big white mountain in the background. The white mountain protrudes from the land like a giant tooth, and immediately grabs the attention of the viewer. This painting is a very intriguing because the main subject of the painting (the mountain) is not necessarily the thing that is in focus. The trees in the foreground of the painting are the things that are most focused. The way the painter does this progression of focus makes you feel like you are actually in the painting. When you focus in on the mountain (blurry) and on the smaller mountain range around it (also blurry), out of the corner of your eye, you can see the focused trees and lake as if you were actually there at the scene. This is a very unique painting style that next to nobody used, but is truly beautiful. You can also notice the reflection of the mountain on the river but you can still see the rippling pattern of the water, as if you are actually seeing the river. This painting is quite beautiful and the way the painter progressed the focus on it is amazing.

Romantic Painting

This Painting is called the "Oxbow". It was done by Thomas Cole. It is a romantic painting showing the Connecticut River near Northampton. The painting has two contradicting sides to it. It starts on the left side with a dark shadow accompanied by rugged broken trees with a violent rain cloud above it. Then on the right side it becomes a sun-filled rived accompanied my man-kind. It is 130.8 cm x 193 cm.

Thomas Cole was born in England than came to America with his family when he was about 17. His is well-known for his landscape paintings such as the Oxford. He worked out of a studio in Catskill, New York. He died at the age of 47 in Catskill. The fourth highest peak in Catskill is now named the "Thomas Cole House" in his honor.

Although Cole was known for his American landscape paintings, he produced thousands of sketches for different types of subjects. You can find a large amount of his sketches at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Cole worked as an architecture for a short amount of time. It is something that helped inspire him as an artist. He designed the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.

The Sierra by Albert Bierstadt

"The Sierra" was painted by Albert Bierstadt. This painting is a depiction of the Hudson River Valley. There are mountains in the background of this painting, and that is the Catskills. This painting is very beautiful for many different reasons, the painting caught my attention because of how bright it is, and the array of colors. This painting is interesting also because of how you could see the animals all around the water, and how you can see the reflection of the mountains on the water.

Looking up the Yosemite Valley-Albert Bierstadt

This painting was made by the famous romantic painter Albert Bierstadt. He was born in Solingen, Germany on January 7 1830 and this was one of his most famous paintings. In this picture you can see the transition from dark to light as you go up the painting. The light is focused predominately on the Yosemite valley and the sky while the dark is on the ground in front of it. This painting is far from nonconformist and actually is a great example of a romantic painting. At the end of his life this painting was bestowed to the Haggin museum is California being one of the biggest attractions.

This painting has a contrast of light to dark as you go down with a feeling of aversion in the bottom. Though with sun out across the valley it is very peaceful. Their is no consistent color it seems all to be according to the actual color done with very thin brush strokes. It is very life like and detailed down to every aspect since Albert Bierstadt was not loath in painting this picture. It has the mountain with a very defined shape.

This painting has two parts that come into unity with a light and dark side. Both of these are balanced on their respect sides and are both an equal amount of the painting. The rhythm is very calm and soothing on the top that regresses towards to the bottom where it gets much darker. While it is very clear that it is wanted for your focus and emphasis to be on the top looking down the valley towards the mountains and the sky while the bottom. Mostly the bottom right corner has less emphasis and seems to be unimportant.

The Voyage

Thomas Cole was a large part of the Romanticism movement that swept through America during the 1800's. From a young age Cole showed signs of great art ability. As he grew he continued to work at his craft and later helped others master their talent by opening up his Hudson River School. Thomas Cole is most known for his great ability to portray the wilderness and wildlife in a serene fashion.

This picture is an example of many different types of soothing colors. In the background the leaves on the trees use different brush strokes to emphasize their different stems. The artist also uses darker colors to make them more prominent. In the upper corner the artist created a more serene bright colors. He did this by using brighter colors.

One of the best features about the painting is its balance. Near the top of the painting there is a yellowish color that slowly blends and changes its a dull rust color. This painting also has great harmony throughout it.

Storm in the Mountains

Albert Bierstadt painted this painting called Storm in the Mountains. Albert Bierstadt was born on September 7, 1830 in Solingen, Germany. Bierstadt was heavily involved with the Romanticism art movement and it showed through his numerous amounts of paintings. Bierstadt was known for joining many Westward expansion trips. Bierstadt was also a member of the Hudson River School which was a group of painters that had similar views and ways of painting.Bierstadt went to school for painting at the Dusseldorf school and was strongly influenced by William Bliss Baker.

In this painting, the clouds give that soft feel around the mountains which seem to have rough texture. The grass at the bottom is on a horizontal line and the mountains are a vertical line. There are lots of greens present that make the picture have a cool feeling as opposed to a warm feeling. The shapes present in the picture are all organic, the mountains, the trees and the clouds.

In the painting we see that the clouds are asymmetrical where the clouds are denser on the right then to the left. We also see that the clouds are framing the mountain in the back where we see it is brighter. Also there is a pattern and repetition of the trees on the bottom by the valley. The rhythm of this picture takes me from the clouds to the mountain. The picture does create unity. I believe this painting is good because it is very different. I find it interesting how the clouds basically wrap around the mountains and it is so different from anything i have ever seen.

Painting

This painting was painted by Duncanson, Robert S. in 1871. This painting is an image praising nature and its beauty. The painting is of a secluded lake, on a perfect day. The the painter uses earthy hues of blues, greens and yellows, that relaxes the viewer. the artist doesnt use many sharp shapes, and makes the image all flow together. it is dark on either side, with the bright light of the sun between the trees

The Sierra

This painting is by Albert Bierstadt. It was named "The Sierra." It is known as the Hudson River School. This depicts the Hudson River Valley. the mountains in the background are the Catskills. This painting is very beautiful in different ways. The water flowing all the way in the back of the picture is very nice. It also shows all nature which is attractive. the animals at the foreground of it makes it interesting because they are getting their water supply from this water source.

After the Storm by William Hart

This painting was drawn by William Hart, a Scottish-born American landscape and cattle painter, born in 1823, and Hudson River School artist. He went to America frequently studying landscape painting, such as decorating the panels of coaches with landscapes. He became particularly adept at depicting angled sunlight and foreground shadow; one of the best examples is this painting, "After the Storm," drawn in 1860s. Hart died at Mount Vermon, New York, on June 17, 1894.

In this painting, its mood is gloomy and dark. Most of colors are consisted of black and gray.

The shapes in the picture are basically not clear. Affected by the gloomy mood, the shapes look

like not detailed but foggy. Forms and textures are natural. Nothing in the picture is incongruous.

Also, the picture contains perspective so I can realize the distances between the shapes and

locations of them. The people with the carriage and the big tree are located forward and the hill is

located behind. There are several colors used in the picture. All the sky is covered with gray cloud

which forms gloomy mood of the picture. The other parts of the picture also do not contain bright

colors. Even though the color of ground and tree are brown and green, they are dark brown and

dark green. The only part that has light color is where the sun points out. It contains yellow and

light green which make to feel bright.

When I see this picture, my eyes go directly to hill behind the tree with bright sunshine. As the title of the picture, After the Storm, it concentrates on the weather after the storm. It is still dark and gloomy, right after storm, but calm and becoming better. One of William Hart's characteristics in his pictures, depicting angled sunlight and shadow are well represented. The ascending hill in the picture is brighter than other parts. However, we cannot see the sun in the picture. It might be in very left upper corner of the picture, the part that is not drawn, because that part contains bright beam lightly, which happened when sun arises. Angled sunlight is drawn naturally, which is the main point of this picture, and the picture perfectly fits to the title, After the Storm.

‘Alley By The Lake’ by Leonid Afremov

This painting was painted by Leonid Afremov. It was named "Alley By The Lake." There are some romantic aspects about this painting. The aspect of nature is quite interesting. On the left side, it seems as if it is autumn. On the right side it seems as if it is winter. There is a frozen lake on the right side. The couple in this are holding an umbrella and the ground bellow them is wet. It is like a walkway between two seasons. It is a very touching painting and gets me relaxed. The mixture between the warm and cold colors really grabs my attention. 

Sierra Nevada by Albert Bierstadt

This painting was painted by Albert Bierstadt and it was given the name sierra Nevada. Bierstadt was a German-American Painter best known for his landscape portraits. He was art of the Hudson river school an art institute for artists with similar ideas. "The Schools style involved detailed paintings with romantic, almost glowing lighting."

This photo shows nature in a calm and serene state. This painting showed a lot of realism and allowed me to just relax. The light in this photo is showing that nature is not always a threat to us and the dark shows that it can also be unpredictable.

The colors in this painting are both light and dark. The Frame, the cliff and the trees, are darkened so you focus more on the clear water and the bright mountains in the center. There are patterns of strokes in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. The painter made it darker in some places so you dont really focus on that area of the canvas.

The Oxbow By: Thomas Cole

This painting called, "The Oxbow" by Thomas Cole is a great example of Romanticism. The deep marsh and rough greens in the painting kind of signify a new leaf as you can see the sun shining through in the top of the painting. This painting shows a very melancholy side and also new bright side of things. This painting shows the Connecticut river located by Northampton. Thomas Cole shows the fierce stormy side on the left and then it transitions into a smooth and crisp spring atmosphere. Thomas Cole had a great influence on the age of Romantic art and will be remembered for his wonderful and unique work. One other take on this picture you could take would be the storm on the left about to overtake the nice weather shown on the right side leaving a very gloomy piece of art. This painting shows curvy lines in the river and straight slanted lines with the trees. Also the central emphasis is the bushes that immediately stick out in the painting. One thing that you can't see on first glance is the artist himself in the painting, you can also see his umbrella and set up for his painting station. The colors are very thick and dark greens on the left and then transfer to lighter shades of green on the right side.

Painting

This is a painting by Albert Pierstadt called "Among the Sierra Nevada, California". This is romantic art because it shows how nature is beautiful, in terms of animals, plants, and natural rock formations. The deer add a sort of calm nature to the painting because deer are very calm animals. The mountains add a sense of beauty because of the calm water around them.

Albert Bierstadt was a German painter in the 17th and early 18th century. He liked to paint things in western America. He was part of the Hudson River School then he grouped in the Rocky Mountain School.

The painting it self i believe is very well painted. Albert uses many different colors, like green, grey, dark blue, blue, and white in his painting. He also uses the element of reflection in the painting. The mountains and waterfalls are being reflected on the lake in the middle of the painting. The lines he uses in the mountain on the left make them look so majestic.

The main focus in the painting is the lake and the mountains because of the reflection the water makes of the mountains. Also because the artist placed them in the middle of the painting. There is a very good balance of nature with the massive mountains in the back, the lake in the middle, the big trees of the right, and the deer of the bottom of the painting. Everything in the painting comes together in unity.

Elijah in the Desert

This is a romantic painting called Elijah in the Desert by Washington Allston. In this painting, you the prophet Elijah going through a melancholy desert. The painting emphasizes on the desert itself, showing the dangerous nature of it with the broken tree and the gloomy clouds. It shows what Elijah had to go through to get past the desert, and that it was not going to be easy. This painting is very well done.

This picture by Leanne Wildermuth is called Homecoming and shows a romantic dinner which is supposed to be with a soon to come home soldier from Iraq. The painting shows the classic romantic setting, wine and a candle. There are even rose pedals on the table for maximum romance. It brings all qualities of a romantic dinner to life in the dim scarlet lighting.

Romantic painting

This picture is painted brilliantly showing a dark and more gloomy side brightening up to the right of the painting. It also shows its reflection making it obvious that there must be a lake or pond below it. This painting is almost like death. After death you leave the cruel world and enter into a kingdom of eternal happiness.

This painting is called "Immigrants Crossing the Prairie," by Albert Bierstadt.It shows a landscape that of pilgrims moving westward across America. It was a time in America that is famous and it is the subject of many types of media and art.This sunset shows nature and people balanced together.

RomanticismArt

This painting is by Thomas Moran one of the best landscape artists around.
There is a person in this painting, walking in the walk way it looks likes hes going from
a dark place to a brighter destination. The picture both looks like a dark and bright picture as
you can see. I really like this portrait it is very wonderfully done, but there isn't that many
colors in it but it still looks very appealing.

Romantic Painting

This painting uses many different factors to enhance its Romanticism. The first and most noticeable factor are the two couples on the walkway and inside the restaurant. The second and less noticeable factor is the sky. The time of day affects the sky by having the sun in just the right position, also the clouds enhance the light from the sun rays expressing that it is happy. It also adds a careful mixture of a city and nature, with flowers on walls and on the bridge. I think the artist used this because nature expresses Romanticism. Finally the painting is not all happy, the restaurant to the left of the painting is not as happy as the rest, it is partly destroyed showing that gloom is a part of Romantic paintings.

Romanticism Art

This image is called View on the Stour near Dedham 1822 by John Constable. If I could describe this painting in 5 words, it would be peaceful, busy, working, majestic and naturalistic. The dimensions of this painting were not given in the website that I had gotten the picture from. In my opinion, I think this is more of a light romanticism painting. The reason I think this is because of the way the painting is seen. It doesn't look threatening to nature whatsoever, There is nothing that would make the painting see darker and nothing that would make it look dead or morbid. It just looks like a natural, nice-looking painting.

The Sierra by Albert Bierstadt

The title of this picture is called The Sierra and it was painted by the artist Albert Bierstadt. This painting has no people in it, but it does have a lot of wildlife in it. The bright colors are very interesting and it is a very tranquil setting. I think that the most interesting part of this painting is how the mountains draws your attention more than anything else

Romanticism Painting

This picture describes George Washington's crossing of the Deleware River to attack the Hessians on Christmas morning.

The name of the painting is called Washington Crossing the Delaware, 1851 by Emanuel Luetze. The dimensions of the picture are 149 inches x 255 inches. It steals all of the attention when you walk into the room in which it is kept.

Although this painting is a classic, it is somewhat unrealistic. as you can see, there is a plethora of ice blocks in the river. Historical accounts say that the river was clear. Also, in the background, you can see horses standing on their back legs, seemingly nervous. The boat would have overturned at the weight of a standing horse. Also, when they arrived, it was still night, here there is the dim light of morning. Despite these exaggerations, this painting is still in my opinion one of the most beautiful paintings ever created.

Romanticism

This painting was done by Susan Rios. It is called Cozy Living. She displays a bright romantic setting. She included bright and colorful background with flowers and sunlight. There are colorful and peaceful setting. It is very welcoming and relaxing.

Romanticism Art

The name of this painting is The Cornfield, painted by John Constable. This paint perfectly represents the characteristics of Romanticism Art. First of all, the background of this paint is beautiful nature, silent farm. Romanticist usually tried to draw awe of nature in their paints. Also, another characteristic, interest in the common men is drawn in the picture. Some men are leading the sheep to the cornfield and another man is resting on the grass field, which are very common scenes of farm. The painter of Romanticism tried to draw emotionally and sensibly with strong senses. This picture is also drawn peacefully

Your eyes are attracted to darkness and in this painting their are dramatic colors and its a romantic. Your focus is directed to the top of the painting on the raining.

-Luke

This picture shows to me the great migration and how people didn't have anything on there long trip but love. A sunset always shows romanticism. We can see the people and the animals are smaller but because of the framing the picture focuses on them. Also this romanticism is light.

This is a picture that is a very good example of light romanticism with the view of the Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds. This is a view of this beautiful Cathedral from the view from the Bishop's abode. In this picture you can tell it is romantic by the singular view of the Cathedral that is emphasized due to the melancholy surrounding of the trees creating a window to view it. It is very resolute in the fact that the painting is so real as if you were looking at the view on this very day.

"Landscape" By E.D. Lewis

The beauty of this painting is that its very peaceful and lonesome, there is almost no disruption among the people who live in the house. This painting also resembles another TV title, Little House on the Prairie, which is recognized as one of the most dramatic and romantic TV shows of all time. The mountains in the background also show the true American beauty in this painting which is a place to escape and be by yourself and just watch nature as time flies by.
