12 Exquisite Romantic Paintings to Feed Your Soul

Franz Unterberger (1837 – 1902) was an Austrian painter specializing in architecture, water scenes and landscapes in the romantic style. Best known for his scenic paintings of Italy’s coasts and cities, his credo was “il puro vero”, meaning “pure truth”, which he tried to convey by contrasting magnificent vistas with day-to-day life. The viewer is drawn initially to the splendor of the setting, and then to the people going about their daily lives in beautiful surroundings.
