[continued]

‘During the Romantic movement landscape painting* emerged as one of the most important genres. This was partly a legacy of the veneration of the Natural inspired by the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78); but added to this was the pantheistic belief – so evident in the poetry of William Wordsworth (1770-1850) – that intimations of the Divine could be found in the workings of nature, & the observation that the moods of man could be reflected in its forms – later censured by Ruskin as the "pathetic fallacy".’**
