or perhaps not a visit to the landscape, insects, and switzerland that inspired the painting is sobering. it's clear that free for these figures wonder through fantasy landscapes composed from different places to cause a quote for the great job to free duration is that the color is just not perceived as a car wash, but that's an image is created. it's like a great utopia of a picture, goals, order p. i must be to the utopia of a picture. hardly anyone knows free today as well as art historian, hug a middle class. he's been studying the please, the phenomenon for several decades now. and he has his own explanation for the current state police mania to be the 1st and his paintings. awesome, pretty incredibly fascinating. or if you look closely, you see the subtlety with which he constructs his pictorial wells lie. the way he paints on a small scale has a great presence. and at the same time, the space is also open. you have these $1.00 to $40.00, stretched out skies,

which are sometimes just color and have an incredible intensity. a rocky mountain peak, overgrown with fruit trees. crucifix entwined with ivy, a figure of christ turned away from us. rays of sunlight against the pink, glowing, cloudy sky. the frame was designed by sweet vision, self of mine, ears of corn, the eye of god. symbols of christianity, angels, chrome, the work of art. this is free for the 1st oil painting debut and to break with the traditional rules of art, a new beginning. so this is the made in famous one itself. sweet does separately christmas. 18 o 8. there is this painting inpatient to the eyes and you have to imagine it really

did like a volume talk a little angry. so i have, i came up on the dressed and had never seen anything like it when he painted this picture. sweet, which was 32 years old and had been living in the eastern german city for 10 years . at that time dressed and was an art metropolis, and sleepless was a central figure. but one who divided opinion is on a freight branch was controversial. stop the west fans that corrected his paintings are kind of identified with his words. and then with those who said it's all monotonous, it's very melancholy. i mean, i called previously spent 30 more years of his life and dressed and he married, had children, and died in poverty in 1840 his paintings. donald had fallen out of favor realism won out over his romanticism. he was condemned to oblivion.

i see. so they lived through troubled times. the french revolution had just failed . the old political order was turned upside down. napoleon conquered europe and occupied, dressed in saxony, in $1813.00 calls for democracy and freedom grew louder and shape sweep lease, thinking the color spit out. it was a dr. items, 3 drinks and paintings are characterized on the one hand by the deep religious nature. and on the other hand, they are completely tied to the political situation. it was a time of his grades, political upheaval, heights that caused these challenges for the people of his time inside that tight for hope all's fordable. restore item truthfully was born on september 5th, 1774, to a strict protestant family, and guy spied on the baltic sea he began to draw. this was how he saw himself in

18 o 2. at the age of 28. as a young man full of yearning, his drawings and paintings are characterized by memories of the sea and the coast of his childhood. but the water can also be threatening. the huge ice flows pile up to form apparent at the sky is less than the turtle ice shimmers bluish and brown. we are facing a boundless polar landscape. mighty in human, sublime, threatening only at 2nd glance, do we recognize the whole of a ship shattered by slabs of ice last forever. the 1st expeditions to the north pole took place during sleep lease lifetime, and fails. what does the painting say more than that? the motif may have its roots in a childhood event. in 1787. please release brother drowned before his very eyes. he

died while trying to save costs by davi who had fallen into the ice. a lifelong trauma for the artist or so the legend goes. skate on dimensions here. it's about our human existence within the cosmos. you could also call it within the divide that which humans cannot grasp, sneed and it's please hold this awareness. that's what set him apart, that this awareness that there's something beyond something with humans cannot grasp. that's my mission of some kind of. and that is exactly what german romanticism is all about. translation, it's most important. a representative describes what cannot be put into words in his images of nature. nature as an image of the divine and majestic white peak reaches into the sky,

recognizable as that's mine in southern germany. perhaps one of the most beautiful alpine peaks. it's around mid day and the sun reflects off the snow and almost shadow this landscape devoid of people. ready the image moves from deep dark tones after glistening white. we already know that the landscape here is also in utopia, in reality, the mountains in the foreground, or hundreds of kilometers to the north. the painter had never seen the hotspot or the alps. he again created a fantasy landscape this time from the 4th at the mountain. here in the original location, we meet up with a landscape photographer acutely unsure and backup costs that obviously place has been his source of inspiration for years. he appreciates the painter's precise feeling for atmosphere and for the magical moments of nature.

to fix it from the b, i get a feel free dress mountains, including this apparent mich shape of the mountains, which is very pronounced in the box manticore, a connection between the fleet and the divine good. for me, these are free duration. by moses, i'm reflecting the full set fine free duration, the today carry on sure and bad the finds pretty place moments in the present. this is how he sees the box man. and this is how customer adobe safely sought. another popular 3 police motif was the gap photograph today and painted 200 years ago friedrich and shown back out both have a feeling for the vulnerability of creation. the demetrius lawns. landscapes is not just in motion, not just beautiful, opened. it tells me something. when i look down here today, i see how a roshan isn't changing the landscape. i can see at the beginning of february that

the snow cover on the mountains is very low. i see the effects of climate change. these are things that can be read from the pictures of them for them that obviously some con, carry on sure about that is a child of his time just like husband. obviously they both are faced with on certain times and which old orders are crumbling. and both confront the challenges of these times in their art. because by david, sweet grace can also be full of the joys of life. pointed chuck cliffs rise from the waves, white against blue, a steep coastline. the horizon is shaded by kind of leaves. the baltic sea in summer, around mid day to sail boats in the distance. there's a feeling of lightness, almost as if we were looking through

a window at the sea. a man gazes thoughtfully into the distance. but what is the other man doing? crawling on the ground, have his glasses falling off, or is he overcome by fear of the steep drop or a woman points to something below him? could she be sleep lease wise, catalina, their honeymoon was spent here and lugen? the painting was created immediately afterwards. faithfully tells a small, very private story here and creates an allegory of love, loyalty and safe. the lonely man by the sea. some suspect it is clearly himself tiny in the vastness of space. his long monks road is the color of the turning water. gold circle above him, clouds pile up on the horizon. is it dawn? or is this thunder storm brewing?

gloomy, turbulent water, white spray on the waves. his face is a bright spot. drawing our attention and almost timeless space. the man remains calm, standing is, are frozen as if he controls the elements. a radically emptied picture, probably played at least most radical. the monk by the sea is at home in berlin, in the i to not to godaddy. and it was here that the forgotten painted place was rediscovered in 19 o 6 germany, god, re acquainted with this painter in a spectacular exhibition of the day. i wanted to start this once in a lifetime exhibition for the police was a sensation. how people really celebrated. adams who was hired the monk by the sea has remained an icon of modernism,

the treasures of the nazi. now godly include another picture that c please painted in the same period or does it have these are symbols in these colors. these move this expressed through the light that actually does contain wonderfully often and that's often the light of transition stem of twilight. when and then it does. as we know, we have an incredible color spectrum, much more color than it mid day. i will turn me text tide early evening does calls an oak forest in winter without leaves? some trees seem dead. the moon has already risen half ruined gothic chapel. but what is really happening here? monks move almost silently. it seems towards the portal. carrying a coffin,

they are carrying one of their own to the grave. the funeral procession cemetery. we are witnessing a funeral beneath the stillness of the picture drama. on the horizon, a bright glow. the sun sitting. what prevails? death for help in the center of the picture is a tiny little bird splice. it is still a mystery. he doesn't tell any complete story because we as visitors as an audience can reach find the answers for ourselves. and on to you, i left us and you'd be to and but this painting has not always stood before the viewer in such a radiant light. the painting has been undergoing restoration for 3 years now. christine emeryville from the berlin. not tonight, i gotta he is responsible for restoring it to its former glory. the reason for the poor state

of preservation is, of course, that frederick was a forgotten office just such a long time. and that's never good for paintings. if nobody knows the artist and then then launch full of met some of them, i'd rather not think about how these moves from a palace to palace were carried out in such a rough and ready manner. so that also play the role speed on the the centimeter by centimeter layer by layer christine. and there's a freeze fleet lease original brushstroke from over painting and 14 layers of varnish and mix interesting discoveries in the process. the design is father use. i prepared most of his colors himself for homes. you know, if i'm 11 does why he was suddenly so driven to kind of steps with the should. that was a huge, the self confident step that on when painting he worked with way 15 layers of paint,

which is almost a selling point of his central maxima. you can tell he's interested in the atmospheric the sky. the franklin says the shields book tickets. the infra red images also reveal sleeping face under the surface drawings, especially spectacular in the month by the sea. an audition, even in the sixty's, people suspected that there was something else under the monk by the scene, the assembly ships. she said, let me see if you can see fantastically detailed sailing ships. every rope and every plank is recognizable akin ball. i'm on an anchor hanging over the side of the ship with a hang. that's a total of 3 ships that free to reach the crew. and then did not find, find that i'm going to talk with the model the she was goof, and so he radically emptied this composition. something he never did. again, maybe the most of the, of the in contrast to the month by the sea.

this is a rather unknown work by sea face, yet a significant one, paying testimony to a lifelong friendship. 3 men at a railing, as always shone from behind. they are russian poets. one of them is law, cities. you kosky a friend and patron, a free police throughout his life. this picture represents a special story, a fleet of his closeness to russia, and of russia's great love for him, the poet and statesmen, cds, you kosky, is responsible for infecting russia, with an ongoing, slightly fever. along with these 2, the futures are nicholas the 1st and his wife, alexandra, who was princess charlotte of prussia before her marriage. they travelled to

dresden and purchased this painting includes at least workshop on the sailing boat . perhaps charlotte saw herself in, at the ball the charlotte was the system of frederick william prussia when a fried used 1st collect 2, which means that she was very familiar with his work and she took her love of his what with her. so st. petersburg, it's not possible. charlotte's love for a customer david street northeast was not only celebrated at course, but took hold of all russian society. the consequences are still visible today. the hermitage in saint petersburg. now house is the largest and most important fleet which collection outside germany or to something seem familiar here in this painting. men again, turn towards each other, demonstrating closeness. they contemplate, nature immersed in it. across and moon is in the sky. the small picture is the

epitome of german romanticism. and its precisely this painting that will soon play a role of great significance. good . it is safe to drop hounds to an exhibition in 2025. the metropolitan museum of art in new york will be hosting the 1st major customer adobe police exhibition in the us. there's never been a comprehensive exhibition of his work here in the us. and we thought it was, it was time to really give our audience is a chance to, to get to explore his work in depth in the painter they recognize the beginning of a new relationship. so the language of our exhibition is

how we understand our relationship with nature. and we want to encourage our audiences to, to think about the new visual language that he is creating. to express this new experience of nature, nature suddenly becomes central to our identity as to who we are. it becomes a place for spiritual and philosophical and emotional discovery for the curator sees that he is the 4 father of an ecological view of nature. the renaissance of this artist in the usa is a milestone for a late work by straight ration. but what is it exactly a cosmic sky? the curvature of yours. in fact, the picture shows a marshy landscape on the outskirts of dressed and flooded area with islands of

sand and mud. dark groups of trees alternate with light meadows. in the background, a barge sales on the elder, hinting at life and the deserted landscape. the day is fading, the summer is slowly coming to an end pretty easily captures this fleeting moment the this painting still fascinates. today. romanticism in art is in life. the ease of that makes sense. a made and a is a student address. does university of fine arts, she's currently preparing for an exhibition. in 2023, she received the cusp of diabetes prize. the jury chose her because they believe her work falls in the tradition of the great romantic painter. in an example of

that word, a transparent curtain blows gently in the wind, softening the boundary between inside and out. the familiar and a foreign photograph, a bare trees in hazy, shifting light. where does she see parallels between herself and the romantic painter born more than 220 years before her? is it a city? so i think many, ah, she's story and see it very differently that from me has pictures the sent to about this new to slice. and this experience that you have when you were alone and to throw them back, calling yourselves with guns of successive silica boston road. a sensitivity for light and shadow, for the feeling of being alone. for the mood. this is what she shares with swedish

them at that moment when the sun comes over the horizon. and when i see the shadows moving on, the wall, i'm seeing the turning. and i become aware of how i sit on this and how small i am and how big the world is. this is a themes that i see, and frederick's painting see this and then come in for the house, the adobe suite, the nation, a painter for the present day. the last generation climate movement even sees him as an accomplice, fighting for the same things, for the salvation of the world. they want to emphasize that with this protest action, they want you to believe that customer david fleet, which was just like them. the one question remains why does cast,

but obviously they show people almost exclusively from behind. was he unable or unwilling to paint faces. certainly not. he was a great portrait painter. his perspective from behind was a conscious decision. these are proxy figures whose bodies we slip into, whose gaze we adopt. they are us. the next, the great thing about freed ration the opportunity to inhabit these figures and me to find the place within his words. well, we can emphasize with our feelings. priestly trademark motif has said a trend and been imitated thousands of times even in advertising. and of course, in computer games, the protagonist back is ever present there the avatars with which we enter the fray . they are us the sleep last year, 2024 has made it very clear. the artist is everywhere. the
