ROMANTIC ARTISTS

**__Turner, John Mallord William__** (1775-1851). One of the finest landscape artists of the Romantic Period was J.M.W. Turner, whose work was shown off when he was still a teen. He was devoted to his art in his entire lifetime and was successful as well.  His father was a barber. His mother died when he was still a young child. He barely received schooling. His father taught him how to read, but this was basically his education besides being educated in art. By the age of 13 he was making drawings at home and hanging them in his father's shop window for sale.

  John Everett Millais (1829-1896) painted normal scenes, but with A lot of depth and color. They were hard to forget. //The Black Brunswicker// tells the story of two lovers, and exhibits a deep sense of feeling and longing. n  Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) created beautiful Gothic revival works, which were popular during the end of the Romantic Movement. His homage to Medieval times was his //Briar Rose// series that decorated Buscot Park in Oxfordshire.

n  Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) Considered the artist that led the Romantic Movement, Delacroix studied under the French painter Pierre Guérin. He was trained in the formal Neo-Classical style which brought back the old styles of art.
