An number of texts and paintings have been called manifestoes of Romanticism.
Victor Hugo's preface to the 1827 play Cromwell is said to be the manifesto of Romanticism.
The same has been said of De l'Allemagne by Madame de Staël (1813), and in the English tradition, Wordsworth's and Coleridge's Preface to the Lyrical Ballads (1802), which stated that "all good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings".
In painting, Théodore Géricault's The Raft of the Medusa has been called the "first Romantic painting".
