Oil on canvas of idyllic character in which we can appreciate the presence of a woman next to some geese in the center of the composition, One of the most radical aspects of the romantic painting was the attempt to replace the great canvases of historical or religious theme by the landscape. They wanted the pure landscape, almost without figures or totally devoid of them, to achieve the heroic significance of history painting. They were based on the idea that human feeling and nature should be complementary, one reflected in the other. That is, the landscape should arouse emotion and transmit ideas. Thus, landscape painters like the author of this canvas tried to express their feelings through the landscape, instead of imitating it.
