A Brush with Nature: Romantic Landscape Drawings

Published on April 29, 2025

Artists in the Romantic period found endless inspiration in the beauty and power of nature. This exhibition highlights how these artists depicted the landscape, from detailed botanical studies to vast vistas. Important Romantic motifs are explored, including the melancholic appeal of ruins and the threat of destructive natural forces. Drawing upon the strengths of the Getty collection, the exhibition features works by important figures in the movement including Caspar David Friedrich, J.M.W Turner, and Théodore Géricault.

The exhibition runs from February 18 – May 25, 2025 at the Getty Center, 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049.
