Landscape Art of the Romantic Era

X102.5 (2 semester units in Art History)

If you seek nature, poetry, travel, and adventure through art, this is your ticket to a visual journey through the inspiring landscape paintings, drawings, and prints of the European Romantics. Illustrated lectures focused on the art of Turner, Runge, Friedrich, Blake, Palmer, Constable, Bonington, Corot, and Rousseau deepen your understanding of the Romantic vision of nature and introduce the art of the British watercolor school, the tradition of outdoor oil-sketching in Rome, and the burgeoning interest in illustrated travel guides and lithographic albums during the Romantic era.
