Franz von Stuck is usually referred to as a Symbolist painter, which he is. However, he easily qualifies as a Romantic painter as well and is sometimes classified as such (Late Romantic).
His Falling Stars is a good example of his Romantic side on full display. A simple, straightforward painting depicting von Stuck and his wife under a night sky pulsating with stars, the work gently captures the enchantment, and wonder inherent in an experience of the sublime.
