The Industrial Revolution in the 19th century forced people to leave farms and the countryside. The growing reaction of painters against the philosophy of the Enlightenment was expressed in the romantic direction of art. Nostalgia for rural idyll and nature is again firmly entrenched in the genres of painting. Pastorals radiated spirituality, freedom, virtue, as a counterbalance to the consequences of industrialization. This is true even today... Artists of the Romantic period tried to convey these ideals in their work. Pastoral canvases with idyllic images can be seen in many famous private collections, exhibitions and museums.
