Excerpt from Catalogue of a Loan Collection of Pictures by the Great French and Dutch Romanticists of This Century
In my Memorial Catalogue of the French and Dutch Loan Collection, Edinburgh International Exhibition, 1886 (Edinburgh: Douglas), I have treated at length of the causes and effects of Romanticism - the movement in art, that is to say, of which 1830 is accepted as the golden year; and I take this present opportunity to repair an error of omission by remarking that Romanticism had nothing special to do with romance. It was simply the recurrence in a certain direction of the phenomenon which in David"s time was called Classicism, which was last week known as Realism, which was Naturalism yesterday, and is full of meaning as Impressionism to-day.
