Romanticism hoped to find truth A. in nature and emotion. A quick look at Romantic art and literature highlights this point. Take, for instance, Caspar David Friedrich's <em>Wanderer above the Sea of Fog </em>(1818)<em>. </em>The painting depicts a lone man standing on a rock in the midst of nature, looking off into the distance in a very contemplative mood. Mary Shelley's book <em>Frankenstein </em>also employs a great deal of Romantic motifs such as entire sections describing Dr. Frankenstein wandering through the mountains where Shelley illustrates (in great detail) the aspects of nature around him.
I think it may have had something to do with Brit and France helping them win the war. Thus it made them as a fall back or cushion for the ottoman empire because they felt that they where able to rely on them now.
