Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) is heralded as the greatest
painter of the Romantic movement in Germany, and Europe's first
truly modern artist. His mysterious and melancholy landscapes,
often peopled with lonely wanderers, are experiments in a radically
subjective artistic perspective--one in which, as Freidrich wrote,
the painter depicts not "what he sees before him, but what he sees
within him." This vulnerability of the individual when confronted
with nature became one of the key tenets of the Romantic aesthetic.
Now available in a compact, accessible format, this beautifully
illustrated book is the most comprehensive account ever published
in English of one of the most fascinating and influential
nineteenth-century painters. "This is a model of interpretative art
history, taking in a good deal of German Romantic philosophy, but
founded always on the immediate experience of the picture. . . . It
is rare to find a scholar so obviously in sympathy with his
subject."--"Independent"
