One of the subjective experience in the art of 19th century is horror. Spooky music, with sinister sounds and strange harmonies. Landscape shows a part of their national identity. In landscape painting there is always a person, having the experience of landscape. Nature becomes a reflection of the inner emotion. Nature in visual arts and in music could be soothing or terrifying. The nature (ex; turbulence of nature/wrecked ship/violent) could show the inner emotions. You have nationalistic image of revolution in france. People struggled for nation hood and succeed in overthrowing imperial power. Emotional expressivity was the highest artistic goal. Many of our great literary horror stories are works of the romantic era: Mary shelley"s frankenstein (1818), the works of edgar allan poe (1809-1849), robert louis.
