Romanticism by Jean Clay is a substantial, richly illustrated hardcover that explores one of the most expressive movements in Western art. Featuring dramatic landscapes, emotional portraiture and visionary scenes, the book traces the rise of Romanticism across Europe, placing iconic painters like Caspar David Friedrich, Turner, Delacroix and Goya into a broader historical context.
The volume is beautifully produced, with full-page colour plates, thoughtful essays and a foreword by Robert Rosenblum — one of the most respected scholars of 19th-century art. It’s a book that brings mood, depth and imagination to any coffee table or curated shelf, and serves as a source of inspiration for artists, interior stylists and collectors alike.
This vintage copy is in very good condition, with some minor edge wear on the dust jacket and clean, bright pages inside. A classic art reference book with strong decorative presence.
