Sorry, I don't think so because if you watch paintings made by romantic artists , you can notice that they painted nude people. Besides that, we have the word wild beach'' which means people who don't wear swimsuit still they are neither primitive nor uncivilized.

That's not how I would understand it. I will help if you provide a link or the context that includes this description.

quaerereverumRomantic artists depict objects wild.
I would really have no idea what this means -- I certainly wouldn't assume it meant nude. (People are not objects, and objects are not referred to as nude.) Could you give more context?

I've never heard the term "wild beaches." In the U.S., "clothing-optional" beaches are called "nude beaches."

"wild" and "nude" are very different. It's hard to say what this strange sentence means.

The sentence is odd -- "wild" is an adjective, but it seems that an adverb is called for.
Any of these choices would make more sense grammatically:
Romantic artists depict wild objects.
Romantic artists depict objects as wild.
Romantic artists depict objects wildly.

What is ETS? Is it possible to get more of the quotation? I'm wondering if the quote could be incomplete or mis-heard. What comes before or after that sentence?

As we've said, it's a strange sentence for several reasons. I

Didn't you find anything in a dictionary that might help? Here's something from Merriam-Webster on-line. Note the parts I put in boldface type - all characteristics of the Romantic movement in the arts - and all evident in the chaos of a shipwreck as shown in the painting above.
