Thank you for this! Romanticism has always been one of my favorite art periods just because it’s so emotional and visually stunning, but I never knew that much about it from an art history standpoint. Compared to the Renaissance or Impressionism, not a lot of people on RU-vid go in-depth explaining it. Glad I learned a little bit more.
I love this video, finally someone that was able to include Manfred and Wanderer above a sea of fog in the same context. Personally I would argue that the wanderer above a sea of fog is a visual representation of the scene in Act II of Manfred when he stands at the top of the Jungfrau mountain contemplating life. Great video.
Glad you liked the video! You are so right about the filter. I kick myself every time I'm editing my sound for not having one. I just got to wait a little bit more before investing more money into my set up.
Thank you , I am a painter looking for something I am not quite sure what. This explains something , now once I add it to something else , I might see the forest if I can get all these trees out of my line of vision.
I believe so. This is from the description: "The opening thumbnail shows Lake Geneva: a beautiful body of water surrounded by the sublime Swiss Alps. But it's also a place with a dark past. The torturous citadel in the mid-ground inspired Lord Byron's "Prisoner of Chillon" and the storms upon its water helped set the mood for both The Vampyre and Frankenstein."
Great question! I would say the supernatural plays into their exploration of emotion - especially fear. You see it show up in so many major works from the era Frankenstein, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and Manfred for example. Hope that helps!
