Romanticism (Barron's Art Handbooks: Yellow Series)

A thumbnail sketch of the artistic movement is provided for painting in Europe, with separate sections on Spain (the text was conceived and written by Parram=n Ediciones in Barcelona in 1999), France, England, and Germany. The brief text, which provides an adequate, albeit old-fashioned, overview of the main tenets and artists of the style, is heavily illustrated in color. Annotation c.
