Based on a Yale Center for British Art exhibition, this catalogue of artwork from the collection of the Princeton professor Charles Ryskamp highlights Romanticism’s focus on emotion, imagination and nature. It compares works by British artists such as Turner, Blake, Stubbs and Constable with Northern European artists including Degas, Delacroix and Corot accompanied by a detailed text that draws out parallels and contrasts between their approaches to specific subjects such as trees, ruins and boats.
