The painting that I don’t really have a lot of interest toward is called Cloister Cemetery in the Snow. It seems to be painted of the woods and there’s snow everywhere and all the tries seem to be dead and have no life to them and they’re painted dark color and there are crosses stuck in the snow, and there is a destroyed church in the center of the painting and you can tell that it’s only a portion of the church and the rest of it seemed to be knocked down or destroyed. To me this painting doesn’t really give off the best message because it kind of makes the church look unimportant the way that it’s all destroyed and it doesn’t really make the Christian religion look strong. The church could have resembled the Christian religion and then it could have been standing tall in the middle of the forest while everything around it didn’t really have any life, then the church would look powerful. But he made it look like a sad lifeless painting and that’s not what romanticism is about, romanticism is about color and life and expression of romance, but this painting kind of does the opposite because it’s not colorful at all and I would be sad to see a church all by itself abandoned and destroyed.
