Faszination Caspar David Friedrich

In the organizer's words:

Art history lecture by Thomas R. Hoffmann

Born 250 years ago in Greifswald, Caspar David Friedrich is today regarded as the most important German Romantic painter. This is demonstrated not least by the record number of visitors his paintings recently attracted at the Hamburger Kunsthalle. "Art for a New Era" became the most successful exhibition in the history of the Hamburg museum.

Dresden was the center of his artistic work. From here, he undertook hikes to the Harz Mountains, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Giant Mountains. Friedrich used the drawings he made there as a reservoir of motifs for the paintings he executed in his studio.

Art historian Thomas R. Hoffmann traces Caspar David Friedrich's fascination and explains the complex pictorial ideas behind his paintings.
