The piece of work I chose to write about was the painting “Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld” by Camille Corot. It was made in 1861 in France, which is in the era I've been studying, Romanticism. This painting was made towards the end of the Romantic Era but it is still extremely easy for me to see many characteristics from the era. The first characteristic is romanticism or emotion, in the painting it seems like a couple and just right when I saw it it reminded me of emotion and romanticism. The other characteristic is nature, this painting seems as it is in the woods, with lots of trees and nature surrounding them. Nature is a big characteristic in Romanticism and many of the poems have some sort of relation to nature. I could really easily see the similarities between the two and I think it’s really interesting how they are from the same time and are so similar.
