Romanticism is a movement that took place in the 18th century in the west of europe, romanticism came in different forms, not only paintings, but music and writing.
The name of this painting is "Moonlit landscape" and was painted by "Washington Allston" in 1809
This image makes me feeling of calm and safety.
In the way there is a full moon shining brightly and reflecting off the water also lighting up the skies around it. The people on horses walking towards the water and light give a feel of peacefulness like "walking into the light and meeting God"
I got this image from: http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/Washington-Allston/Moonlit-Landscape,-1809.html
Romanticism music was around the 1820s to 1910 with the likes of Beethoven and E.T.A Hoffman.
