Antique Romantic Paintings

Romantic painting is the art of passion and imagination that swept France in the early nineteenth century, setting dramatic color, exotic subjects and the power of nature against the cold order of Neoclassicism.

Our Romantic works range from dramatic scenes and wild animals to exotic and Orientalist subjects, original antique oils, many of them signed and framed. To trace the movement and its masters, read our guide to French Romanticism.
