Art F200X blog Sawyer Christiansen

    My first art style for my Romantic era blog is is romanticism. My artwork for the romanticism style is " Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog",   Made by the German painter Casper Friedrich in 1818/1817.     Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog  is a pretty neat looking piece of art, and it's regarded as one of the most popular artworks from the romantic era by multiple sources.

It was painted by Gilbert Stuart, a dude very well known for painting portraits such as this one. He was so well known and cool that the United States government even put his face on postage stamps, along with 34 other cool dudes(dudes is gender neutral here because they weren't all men). This painting is connected to the influences of the classical era through the American Revolution; George Washington was a general in the American Revolution and was appointed as the first leader of the independent nation that the revolution had sought to create. I do not find this painting very appealing via aesthetic
