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.

From the 1770s through the 1840s, German, Austrian, and Swiss
artists used the medium of printmaking to create works that
synthesized poetry, literature, music, and the visual arts in new
and captivating ways. Finding an eager audience in the growing
number of educated middle-class collectors, printmakers
experimented with modern technologies, such as lithography, and
drew on the contemporary interest in regional folklore and
traditional fairy tales to produce innovative compositions that
both contributed to and reflected the dramatic cultural and
political upheavals of the Romantic era. Featuring the work of more
than 120 artists, including Casper David Friedrich, Ludwig Emil
Grimm, Joseph Anton Koch, Philipp Otto Runge, and Johann Gottfried
Schadow, this authoritative book contains many unique and
never-before-published examples of prints from the Philadelphia
Museum of Art's unrivaled collection. Published in association with
the Philadelphia Museum of Art
