There are a lot to consider....
But Lord Byron is the Man.
He wrote it. He lived it.

I was surprised when I looked at my books at the number of writers I have enjoyed from the Romantic period:
Washington Irving
Walt Whitman
William Blake
Mary Shelly
Alexander Pushkin ++++
Victor Hugo
Henry Wadsworth
and of course Edgar Allen Poe

I love many of them, but I have a soft spot for Byron because he had the best sense of humor about the whole thing.

I'll add Chateaubriand to that for my personal likes.

Mary Shelly. She wrote what is arguably the first science fiction novel and the ideas at its heart are still very, very relevant.

(I wonder if that fancy cut of beef was named after him ) I've only read Atala and Rene which are both the most widely available in English translations but very good. Rene was one of the biggest influencers of early Romanticist works. Both are novellas so not very long.

I remember really enjoying The Red and the Black by Stendhal. I started it on a whim just by reading the blurb and got more and more engrossed in it as I progressed.
