The works on display by Goya, Johann Heinrich Fuseli, William Blake, Théodore Géricault and Delacroix, as well as Caspar David Friedrich, convey a Romantic spirit which by the end of the 18th century had taken hold all over Europe. In the 20th century artists such as Salvador Dali, René Magritte or Paul Klee and Max Ernst continued to think in this vein.

As obras de arte falam de solidão e melancolia, paixão e morte, do fascínio com horror e da irracionalidade dos sonhos. Depois de Frankfurt a exposição, concebida pelo Museu Städel, viaja para Musée d'Orsay, em Paris.

Awakening, 1944, Oil on wood, 51 x 41 cm, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, © VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2012.

Gabriel von Max (1840-1915), The White Woman, 1900, Oil on canvas, 100 x 72 cm, Private Collection.

Ela é concebida para estimular o interesse aos aspectos sombrios do Romantismo e ampliar a compreensão deste movimento. Muitos dos desenvolvimentos artísticos e posições apresentadas aqui emergem de uma confiança destruida e pensamento esclarecido e progressista, que tomaram conta logo após a Revolução Francesa - inicialmente celebrada como o alvorecer de uma nova era - no final do século 18. Manchada de sangue e terror guerra trouxe sofrimento e causaram a desordem social em grande parte da Europa;

It is conceived to stimulate interest in the sombre aspects of Romanticism and to expand understanding of this movement. Many of the artistic developments and positions presented here emerge from a shattered trust in enlightened and progressive thought, which took hold soon after the French Revolution — initially celebrated as the dawn of a new age — at the end of the 18th Century. Bloodstained terror and war brought suffering and enentually caused the social order in large parts of Europe to break down.

A desilusão foi grande assim como o entusiasmo original quando os aspectos sombrios da iluminação foram revelados em toda a sua dureza. Jovens figuras literárias e artista se voltaram para o lado inverso da Razão.

Franz von Stuck (1863-1928), The Sin, 1893, Oil on canvas, 88 × 53,5 cm, Galerie Katharina Büttiker, Zürich.

The disillusionment was a great as the original enthusiasm when the dark aspects of the enlightenment were reveled in all their harshness. Young literary figures and artist turned to the reverse side of Reason.

O horripilante, o milagroso, e o grotesco desafiaram a supremacia do belo e imaculado. O apelo de lendas e contos de fadas e do fascínio com a Idade Média competiram com o ideal da Antiguidade A paisagem campestre tornou-se cada vez mais atraente e foi um assunto favorito dos artistas. A luz do dia encontrou o nevoeiro e misteriosa escuridão da noite.

The horrific, the miraculous, and the grotesque challenged the supremacy of the beautiful and the immaculate. The appeal of legends and fairy tales and the fascination with the Middle Ages competed with the ideal of Antiquity The local countryside became increasingly attractive and was a favored subject for artists. The bright light of day encountered the fog and mysterious darkness of the night.
