A romantic image of a young and sad naiad bather, close to the aesthetics of T.A. von Neff. Depicts a beautiful, half-naked girl, in a moment of thought by the stream. A bright light snatches a seated figure from the captivity of the night and the surrounding thickets. Opens her pale scarlet, light clothes, lowered to her knees, as a sign of a pure, untouched soul. The modest charm of the heroine illuminates and fills the picture. An unknown artist managed to breathe life into the staff of academic painting, which is what the Russian Romantic School of the mid-19th century was so famous for. Canvas, oil.

His method is idealization, attributing the best through man to nature and the universe in general. There, a subjective belief in the best is due to the spiritual experience of accepting a person, mercy, obedience to the world order. Humility before him. Fatalism. Romanticism is the pessimism of someone who knows all the same who loves, programmatically chooses Love, where the latter is understood as pity. But within romantic introversion - loneliness is an urgent fact of life, nostalgia for itself; inseparability. The time of romanticism - languor, nostalgia for the best; time of contemplative pause. In art, it was reflected mainly in painting. The first appearance from within the constructed picture. Living fabric of metaphors of signs and symbols. The style of Louis Philippe, where romantic scenes determined the plot of porcelain and bronze sculpture, can be considered a kind of continuation in decorative and applied art.Romanticism gave impetus to the appeal to national history, thereby giving rise to a parade of national awareness. ...
