Where is the largest collection of Romanticism paintings?

Question

I would like to find out where is the largest collection of paintings from the Romanticism movement. By largest I mean not only the more numerous but also with sufficient coverage of different artists, nationalities, and periods. I recently visited the National Gallery in London, and was surprised to find "few" paintings from that period, let alone from English Romanticists.

Unfortunately, I haven't been to other major museums (Louvre, Prado, Orsay, Met, etc). There seem to be more English paintings in the V&A museum. Also, there is an on-going project setting up a German Romanticism museum. Still, the question remains. Where could I find the largest collection of such paintings?

There might not be a single largest collection. You might try Tate Britain with works by Constable, Turner, Blake and others — , Jul 18 '19 at 10:15
@ReddHerring mmm, shouldn't by definition be a largest one, just that it might not be "big enough"? — fox_mulder, Jul 18 '19 at 10:40
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is a question about art with no real connection to travel beyond the trivial fact that the answer is a place and people could travel there. — David Richerby, Jul 19 '19 at 18:34
@DavidRicherby "where-on-earth" tag reads: "For questions about location of specific place or location of longest/highest/biggest/the most... place/thing on Earth." Isn't that precisely what my question is about? — fox_mulder, Jul 20 '19 at 16:28
@fox_mulder This may be a case where the community's ideas about what is on-topic have changed over time. — David Richerby, Jul 20 '19 at 21:47
https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/146965/which-museums-have-artworks-of-all-four-ninja-turtles-namesakes is a sillier question with similar topic, thousands of views, several answers and over one hundred upvotes. I wouldn't say that this question is off-topic. — Pere, Sep 19 '19 at 18:09
