that to and the French revolution to

by focusing on the enormous desert showing
the insignificance of the statue of the King
lowering his status.

broken down statue symbolising that
he is slowly being forgotten by
everyone showing that he was not a
great as he believed.

the Romantics belief that nature is all
powerful.
