Just listening to a lecture for Gothic Literature, apparently in the 18th and early 19th centuries there was a trend of going to places like Switzerland in pursuit of 'the sublime' - that transportative feeling that accompanies great scenes of nature and wonder. This ^^ picture was from the lecture, but here are some more I found online..
Caspar David Frierich ^^
There are heaps more, but if I stay in front of it any longer I'll never leave the computer screen and my face will probably melt :/
