One of the most radical aspects of Romantic painting from the late nineteenth century was the attempt to replace the large canvases of historical or religious theme by the landscape. They wanted the pure landscape, almost without figures or totally devoid of them, to reach the heroic significance of history painting. They were based on the idea that human feeling and nature should be complementary, one reflected in the other. That is to say, the landscape should arouse emotion and transmit ideas, as is the case of this engraving.
