This comprehensive art history timeline explores the characteristics, leading contributors and important influences of each prominent period of Western art.

Romantic Englishness investigates how narratives of localised selfhood in English Romantic writing are produced in relation to national and transnational formations. This book focuses on autobiographical texts by authors such as John Clare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb, and William Wordsworth.

Few 18th-century artists were more enthusiastic about turning poems into paintings than the Swiss-born artist, writes Clare Bucknell

"Then we see above the first fiery flower..." In 1830, following a performance at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, a riot broke out in the streets of Bruxelles and the Belgian revolution began. At the time of the revolution, Belgium was part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands and under the rule of a Dutch King, William I. Formed only 15 years earlier, the United Kingdom of the Netherlands was a divided state from the start, composed of a Dutch speaking north that was predominately Protestant and a French speaking south of predominately Catholics. Shortly after the fighting broke out in Bruxelles, revolutionaries proclaimed independence on October 4 and formed an interim governing National Congress in the Palace of the Nation - at the time, the location of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands which alternated between the Hague and Bruxelles. London quickly recognized Belgian sovereignty and in the following year, by end of February, the National Congress had established the Belgian Constitution. On June 4, the Congress appointed Leopold Frederick as King of the Belgians. Leopold I was sworn in at St. Jacobs Church on July 21 – the date now celebrated as Belgium's National Day. The Federal Parliament of Belgium continues to meet in the Palace of the Nation. Situated in the city center overlooking the Parc de Bruxelles, the Palace houses both the Parliament's House of Representatives and the Senate. Across the Parc stands the Royal Palace. While the official Palace of the King it does not function as the residence of the King. Instead, it services the King's ceremonial duties and business of the state. It was here in the shadow of the Palace – nestled in the fold of Belgium's faithful with eyes turned upward – I stood to take in the display of fireworks announcing Belgium's 180th birthday. They were at once both fierce and delicate. “Loudly passes the costumed procession of the town's Bonfire Night tradition… like a peacock's feathers in the sky, or so it seems in one child's sight under the spell...” Painting by Gustaf Wappers of the 1830 revolution. St. Jacobs Church where King Leopold I was sworn in on July 21, 1831. Palace of the Nation - Parliament of Belgium. Plenary of the House of Representatives. Here, the first National Congress met and drafted the Constitution. King Leopold I's statue looks down. Plenary room of the Senate. The walls of the Senate feature a number of historical figures from the early Middle Ages through the 1700s. The ceiling of the Senate showcases the coat of arms of the nine original Belgian provinces. The Senate reading room. I found it amusing and also a bit charming that the Parliament still has telephone booths. The Royal Palace. "The dark sky is filled with fire's passion... sparks fly down as if to sigh." "Bright red flares pushing darkness back, blinding many in dance attack..." "The proud feeling of awe when watching this sight, looking forward... bonfire celebrations will never rest, it will be always in my heart and always the best."

the justice of trajan (1840), by eugene delacroix

While most artistic portrayals of the devil are animalistic or demonic, a handful of pieces over the past 250 years have been nothing short of breathtaking.
