| | Book Review: Koerner's "Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape" |
| | Friedrich's "empty" canvases are seen by Koerner in socio-historical as well as art-historical terms: as a reflection of the artist's own spirit in touch with the political moment, but also as an expression of contemporary views on the very nature of art and art criticism. | | | Friedrich's art, Koerner explains, is Erlebniskunst, the art of experience, and it is his own inner world which Friedrich so strikingly reveals on the canvas. | | | Friedrich's Wanderer, as indeed his art, travels in the purgatory between the infinite and the bounded, the timely and the timeless, the past and the future. |

| | The German romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, born on 5 September 1774, was one of the greatest exponents in European art of the symbolic landscape. | | | Even some of Friedrich's apparently nonsymbolic paintings contain inner meanings, clues to which are provided either by the artist's writings or those of his literary friends. | | | What sets Friedrich's work apart is his transformation of the landscape into symbolic meanings, often religious. |

| | Caspar David Friedrich - The Ostra Gehege near Dresden |
| | Eight years later, in 1832, Friedrich returned to this oil sketch and developed it into the complex and highly finished painting in Dresden, transforming a simple study of landscape into a Romantic symbol of the transience of human life. | | | This may explain why Friedrich, at least for a short period of time, was influenced by Dahl’s naturalistic approach and his new practice of plein-air painting. | | | Their small size and sketch-like character make these paintings unique in Friedrich's oeuvre and suggest they were painted at a particular moment in his career. |

| | CGFA- Bio: Caspar David Friedrich |
| | Caspar David Friedrich was an outstanding 19th-century German romantic painter whose awesome landscapes and seascapes are not only meticulous observations of nature but are also allegories. | | | According to Friedrich's own writings, all the elements in the composition have symbolic meanings. | | | A bold break from traditional religious painting, this work is almost pure landscape; the figure of the crucified Christ, seen from behind and silhouetted against a mountain sunset, is almost lost in the natural setting. |
