romantic landscape

Couples' scenic backdrop

A romantic landscape is a style of painting or depiction of natural scenery emphasizing dramatic, emotional, or sublime qualities—stormy skies, rugged mountains, ancient ruins, wild forests.

The term comes from the Romantic movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which valued nature's power and mystery over classical order: Turner's romantic landscapes capture the raw force of sea and storm.
