Quotations


Baudelaire: Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject matter nor in exact truth, but in a way of feeling.

Washington Allston: Trust your own genius; listen to the voice within you, and sooner or later she will make herself understood not only to you, but she will enable you to translate her language to the world, and this is which forms the real merit of any work of art.

Carl Gustav Carus: When man, sensing the immense magnificence of nature, feels his own insignificance, and, feeling himself to be in God, enters into this infinity and abandons his individual existence, then his surrenter is gain rather than loss. What otherwise only in the mind's eye, here becomes almost literally visible: the oneness in the infinity of the universe.

 Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863), Death of Sardanapalus, 1828.  Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), Wanderer above the Mists, c. 1818.

On the basis of a comparison of these two works, what do you consider to be the common characteristics of Romanticism, and how do these works reflect them?
