Abstract

In this article, the reflection of romanticism in the poems of Shams Langroudi and its reflection in Qajar painting is focused upon. The research method is accomplished via library method within an analytical-descriptive framework. The hypothesis is a reflection on a number of the most significant components of romanticism in the poems of Shams Langroudi. By studying such poetry, it can be determined that Shams Langroudi despite having a long time distance with the masters of contemporary poetic romanticism, nevertheless shows attentiveness towards the components and features of this school. The capacities of this school have been used to express the concepts and notions of this field. Tendency to social romanticism, attention to nature, using the power of imagination to create original images, naturalism and expression of romantic and emotion-based themes are the most imperative components of romanticism that can be seen in Shams Langroudi's poems. Shams Langroudi has never convinced himself to use pure imagination in his poems; henceforth, his social and human thoughts are expressed by using the power of imagination. The poet does not tolerate oppression and inequality, however, to express this theme he uses symbols and elements of nature to demonstrate the deepest political concepts and the strongest criticism in the form of symbols and metaphors. Moreover, Qajar painting was a combination of new and old methods; in this sense, segments of Langroudi's poems including naturalism, romantic themes and social romanticism can be seen in Qajar painting.
