Romanticism as a movement emerged in the late eighteenth century as a direct reaction against the rational order of the Enlightenment, favoring feeling over proof and sublime landscape over classical composition, running through painters from Friedrich in Germany to Turner in England and from Delacroix in France to the American Hudson River School. The Romantics 2027 Wall Calendar from The Gifted Stationery Co. reproduces twelve works drawn from that range, from Caspar David Friedrich's lone figure on a cliff looking into fog to Turner's ship at the moment the weather takes over. The printing holds the specific atmospheric effects the movement depended on, which is most of what the work is about: smoke, mist, weather, and the scale that makes a human figure read as small.
