The enshrinement of death, its aesthetic, erotic and metaphysical sublimation and the recognition of the psychological and political brutality of death are all aspects of the romantic vision. This is a study of a fascinating idea in European art, of Goya, Jacques Francois Joseph, Claude Louis Desrais, Gericault, Delacroix, and the ever mysterious Caspar David Friedrich.
