The Metropolitan Museum's "Overview" noted: "Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 and the restoration of peace, French and English civilians flocked across the Channel. Among them were artists, connoisseurs, and collectors, eager to rediscover and explore the culture of their erstwhile enemies. Following the end of the Napoleonic regime, however, a conviction also grew that the eighteenth-century Enlightenment ideals of rationalism, confidence, and ordergiven artistic expression in the smooth perfection of the Neoclassical stylewere no longer valid. A new array of attitudes and aesthetic sensibilitieswhich came to be called Romanticismnow celebrated extremes of emotion, the irrational, and the power of nature to awe and inspire. This need to break with the past and explore new modes of expression was felt keenly on both sides of the Channel. While French artistsled by the twin titans of Eugène Delacroix and Théodore Géricaultbecame the supreme exponents of Romantic painting, their achievement assimilated aspects of contemporary English art and culture."
