These images are so well known that they are almost icons of nineteenth century art. What makes them special is certainly that they have the capacity to grab attention and invite the imagination to take the viewer into the portrayed reality of the scene. They are also milestones in art history marking the shift from cool objectivity, grand intentions and pictorial cleanliness of Neo-Classical compositions to the dynamic diagonals, emotionally charged marks and intimately personal visions of Romanticism.
