Romantic Landscape 

Kimon Loghi's Romantic Landscape is an exercise in oil paint, most likely created on canvas. Loghi’s thick brushstrokes render the landscape's geological formations palpable to the touch, as if paint and earth have become one. The weight and texture of the oil paint are crucial to the scene. Its immediacy and dynamism evoke a sense of nature's raw power, while the loose brushwork gives the scene an atmospheric, dreamlike quality. The Romantic movement often celebrated the untamed beauty of nature as a response to industrialization. In this landscape, we see that tension resolved as Loghi’s technique merges art with nature. By focusing on the materials and process, we can see Romantic Landscape as more than just a pretty scene. It becomes a commentary on the relationship between humanity, labor, and the natural world.
