The Romanticism movement influenced his emphasis on capturing emotional states through expressive brushstrokes and evocative atmospheres present here. From the Barbizon school style perspective – which celebrated landscape painters - we can appreciate how he uses natural landscapes as a backdrop to create depth within the composition.
