- Provides a clear understanding of a complex movement that in c.1775-1830 produced some of the greatest European art, literature and music
- Discusses how artists as diverse as Goya, Delacroix, Friedrich and Turner responded to landscapes or depicted historical events
- Examines artists such as David and Ingres who are not usually considered Romantics
- Takes a thematic approach to Romanticism, relating it to the concurrent more stylistic movements of Neoclassicism and the Gothic Revival
'The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods...I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools.' (Joachim Pissarro, Yale University)
