This book examines the links between the unprecedented visual
inventiveness of the Romantic period in Britain and
eighteenth-century theories of the sublime. Edmund Burke's
Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime
and Beautiful (1757), in particular, is shown to have directly or
indirectly challenged visual artists to explore not just new
themes, but also new compositional strategies and visual media such
as panoramas and book illustrations, by arguing that the sublime
was beyond the reach of painting. More significantly, it began to
call into question mimetic representational models, causing artists
to reflect about the presentation of the unpresentable and drawing
attention to the process of artistic production itself, rather than
the finished artwork. -- .
