The exhibition marks the 250th anniversary of the romantic and already modern German painter Caspar David Friedrich. Unlängste Landschaften, Infinite Landschafts is one of the three main events of this important birthday.
The public will be able to discover, from 19 April to 4 August, new perspectives on his production. 60 paintings and 50 drawings from Germany and abroad will be on display at the Alte Nationalgalerie, in Berlin, and at the Metropolitan in New York, from April 19 to August 4. "Unlike Turner, his contemporary, who illustrated nature always with strong movement, there is here a stillness capable of conveying the greatness of divine creation," says the director of the Nationalgalerie, Ralph Gleis, presenting the "complex" exhibition. The exhibition will also be held in Hamburg and Dresden, as well as at the National Gallery in Berlin. The National Gallery relaunched it with an exhibition that history in 1906, and the exhibition will run until August 4.
