Romantizm, temel bağlamda duyusal güdülerin sanatsal tavır ekseninde harmanlanarak eser üretildiği bir dönemi ya da akımı ifade etmektedir. Bu kapsamda Romantizm akımı, öncelikle resim ve edebiyatta ortaya çıkmış ve akabinde sanatın diğer dallarına da yayılım göstermiştir. Ayrıca bu dönemde, konu bağlamında ortaçağ metinlerine, destanlara, Yunan mitolojisi ve savaş temalı kompozisyonlara yer verilse de manzara resmi ön plana çıkmıştır. Öte yandan, doğa görünümlerinin resim sanatı içerisinde yer edinimi İlk Çağ’lara kadar uzansa da kompozisyon bağlamında yalın haliyle aktarımı romantizm ile birlikte olmuş ve bir yaklaşım methodu olarak romantik manzara resminin ortaya çıkışı da doğanın duygusal kaydının yansıtılmasına olanak sağlamıştır. Bunun akabinde, romantik manzara resminin öncüleri Turner ve Constable’ın manzara resimleri de akımın yönünü belirlemiştir. Bu çalışmada, romantizmin tanımına, Fransız devrimi ile olan organik bağına; akımın İngiltere, Almanya ve Fransa’daki etkilerine; akımın öncüleri olarak görülen Turner ve Constable’ın yaşamı ile manzara resimlerine ve Okan Özyavuz’un manzara resimlerine yer verilmiştir.

Romanticism refers to a period or movement in which works were produced by blending sensory instincts in the thematic context on the axis of artistic attitude. With this art movement, the individual has the opportunity to reflect the inner world to the outside world. In addition, Romanticism has enabled the strengthening of the bond that has been established since human Creation. In particular, the libertarian thought offered by the French Revolution was the foundation of the romantic process. In this context, the Romanticism movement first emerged in painting and literature and subsequently spread to other branches of art. In addition, in this period, although medieval texts, epics, Greek mythology and war-themed compositions were included in the context of the subject, landscape painting came to the fore. On the other hand, although the place of nature views in the art of painting dates back to the Ancient Ages, their transfer in a simple form in the context of composition was accompanied by romanticism, and the emergence of romantic landscape painting as an approach method allowed the emotional record of nature to be reflected.
