Romance. Vernacular language of old France (or old Provence, Spain, etc) developed from Latin.

      When I behold upon the night's starr'd face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, Then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

John Keats 1795-1821

My Romantic Scenes Selection includes prints and engravings which do not fit in any other Category. However they are so beautiful that I had to show them, and I have therefore created a whole NEW Section.

Romance; Medieval Tale of Chivalry with scenes and incidents remote from ordinary life.
