The modernist aesthetic and, later, Nazi ideology split German
Romantic painting into two opposed phases, an early progressive
movement, represented by Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) and
Philipp Otto Runge (1777-1810), and a later reactionary one -
epitomized by Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869) and Peter von
Cornelius (1783-1867). In this rich and engaging book, Mitchell
Frank explores the continuities between these two phases to
reconstruct the historical position that existed in the nineteenth
century and to look once again at the Nazarenes - and Overbeck in
particular - as a fully integrated part of the Romantic movement.
His innovative book is crucial to an understanding of German
Romanticism and the legacy of this period in European art.
