“Wooded Landscape” by David Cox is an exemplary work within the Romanticism art movement and belongs to the landscape genre. The artwork deftly portrays a serene and lush woodland scene. The dense foliage, depicted with rich, earthy tones, set against the soft illumination of a clear sky, creates an immersive and tranquil atmosphere. A shepherd accompanies a flock of sheep along a sunlit path, evoking a sense of pastoral serenity and connection with nature. The towering trees with their intricate branches dominate the composition, emphasizing the grandeur and beauty of the natural world, characteristic of the Romanticism movement.
