Nineteenth century Romanticism was a loose movement spanning many of the arts. In painting. it exalted the beauty of nature particularly wild landscapes and used it to inject feeling and significance. Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School showed the northwest Unites States as grand and inspiring, while in Germany, Caspar David Friedrich showed bleak and mountainous landscapes that somehow conveyed a feeling of hope.
