How did Dahl's Romanticism influence his thinking?
Romanticism provided the lens through which I perceived the world. It led me to value emotion, intuition, and the power of the individual imagination. My observations of nature were not detached scientific studies but deeply felt experiences, where the external landscape mirrored internal states. This sensibility informed my belief that art could transcend mere representation to convey profound truths and evoke powerful emotional responses, connecting the viewer to something larger than themselves.
