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]]. 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. | Art in Urcea continued to develop out of purely theological and patronage-based systems.
