Georg Friedrich Kersting "Caspar David Friedrich in seinem Atelier" 1819
oil on canvas 51 x 40 cm |
Caspar David
Friedrich (1774 – 1840) was a 19th-century German
Romantic landscape painter, generally considered the most important German
artist of his generation. He is best known for his mid-period allegorical
landscapes, which typically feature contemplative figures silhouetted against
night skies, morning mists, barren trees or Gothic ruins. His primary interest
as an artist was the contemplation of nature, and his often symbolic and anti-classical
work seeks to convey a subjective, emotional response to the natural world.
Friedrich's paintings characteristically set a human presence in diminished
perspective amid expansive landscapes, reducing the figures to a scale that,
according to the art historian Christopher John Murray, directs "the
viewer's gaze towards their metaphysical dimension"
