Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson, Burial of Atala, 1808

Burial of Atala is a interesting painting that embodies the style of Romanticism. Atala, who is dedicated to keeping her virginity, kills herself rather than breaking her vow for her lover. The emotion that this painting expresses is intense and elegant.
