Caspar David Friedrich. Heimatstadt

In the organizer's words:

Caspar David Friedrich. Hometown

Meadows near Greifswald

16.10.2024 - 05.01.2025
Caspar David Friedrich remained closely associated with Greifswald, the place of his birth, childhood and youth, throughout his life.
Two of the most impressive testimonies to this are the paintings "Meadows near Greifswald" from the Hamburger Kunsthalle and "Greifswald Harbour" from the Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin.
In 2024, both paintings will travel to the Baltic Sea and will be at the center of the special exhibition concluding the anniversary year, which will shed light on Friedrich's connection to his "home town". The presentation is complemented by preparatory drawings, city views by his contemporaries, an exploration by artist Cindy Schmid of the local "meadows" and Caspar David Friedrich's childhood, as well as the question of the moors near Greifswald.

The patron of the special exhibition is Lord Mayor Dr. Stefan Fassbinder.
Supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Ministry of Science, Culture, Federal and European Affairs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald - Office for Education, Culture and Sport, the Fund for Western Pomerania and Eastern Mecklenburg, the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung together with the Stiftung der Sparkasse Vorpommern, the Kulturstiftung der Länder, the Bürgerstiftung Vorpommern, the Peter-Warschow Sammelstiftung, the Dr. Julius & Günter Budde Foundation and the Rotary Club Greifswald-Caspar David Friedrich.

With Caspar David Friedrich through the year 2024 - we are part of it!
