Reason: Most striking image from the romantic painter John Martin. The Romantic movement validated intense emotions. The movementwas placing new emphasis on emotions as authentic apprehension, horror and terror, and awe— especially that which is experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature and its picturesque qualities: new aesthetic categories, and very different from Realism and Classicism as a source of aesthetic experience. Very EV-ish, has actually two own articles.
