Art in Urcea continued to develop out of purely theological and patronage-based systems. The idea of "art for art's sake" began to find expression in the work of the Romantic painters, the most famous of which was [[Thomas Comhale]], whose paintings of [[Ionian Highlands]] and scenes in the eastern [[The Valley (Urcea)|Urcean valley]] were embraced as a "uniquely Urcean artistic school" during the period of the [[Recess of the Julii]] and [[Aedanicad]]. During this period, ideas about subject in art began to diverge, with historical events and people giving way to a more freeform selection of abstract locations and objects painted in the Romantic style. Many of this period's landscape portraits also depicted scenes of the [[Urcean frontier]], extolling the virtues of [[Ómestaderoi]] living as part of a greater popularity of these themes and locations coinciding with the rise of Urcean frontier literature.

The Romantic art style remained popular in Urcea long after it had been supplanted elsewhere and it was valued as the "art of the common people and their inheritance in the land of Urcea", as Aedanicus VIII put it in 1863. Urcean Romanticism heavily featured both landscapes and historical scenes in addition to Biblical and pseudo-historical scenes, especially in the well known The Course of Empire series of paintings by Comhale which depict the rise and fall of a classic Latinic civilization. During the 19th century commercial galleries became established and continued to provide patronage in the 20th century. The Neo-Romantics resumed this style and genre of art following the victory of Urcea in the [[Second Great War]], peaking in the early 1950s.
