"A painting must stand as a painting, made by human hand," wrote
Caspar David Friedrich, "not seek to disguise itself as Nature."
One of his generation's most popular painters, Friedrich imagined
landscapes of powerful beauty and spirituality from within the
confines of his studios. This breathtaking monograph, filled with
glorious reproductions and details of his paintings, argues for
Friedrich's reputation as a sublime artist and interpreter of
nature. In his thoughtful and well-researched commentary, author
Johannes Grave explores Friedrich's approach to landscape painting
as well as his revolutionary thoughts about how these paintings
should be received by their viewers. Looking closely at pieces such
as Monk by the Sea, Abbey in the Oakwood, and the Tetschener Altar,
Grave shows how Friedrich developed an innovative approach to
landscape painting, one that communicated a new sense of space and
time, and which draws the viewer into a unique aesthetic
experience. Highly readable, insightful, and copiously illustrated,
this compelling book sheds crucial light on Friedrich's celebrated
body of work.
