the supply chain process, all that massive, illegal leather stats may stood on d w the most. if you have to imagine that it really hits like a bomb. i'm just talking about paintings like a bon. we're talking about cost, but obviously donation a painter who still has an influence on the visual aesthetics of today. we'll examine his paintings of magical beauty and dark melancholy. the painter of the sky, the sea solitude. silence will also meet people in whom his paintings live on and will find out why he depicted everyone from behind, cuthbert dotted sweetly. she revealed the,

there are plenty of good reasons to take a closer look at the painter in his $250.00 of anniversary year. so here are 10 of his most famous paintings, starting with a legendary back the, the magnum opus trans. is that what we see here? hiker has just climbed a high peak taking the last difficult steps. now he rests his hair, blonde like c disease is blown by the wind. he looks into the distance. will it be done soon? fog is gathering the mountain landscape, lies below him. the world is at his feet, or perhaps not a visit to the landscape, insects in switzerland that inspired the painting is sobering. it's clear that free

for these figures, wonder through fantasy landscapes composed from different places, can cause a quote from the great dots of free duration is that the color is just not perceived as a car wash, but that image is created. it's like a great utopia of a picture goals or to p. i'm as big as the utopia of a picture. hardly anyone knows freak today's as well as art historian hugginsville 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, debate athletics 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. you know how these kind of low please enter the tape is it's the sky overdressed and at dusk, these are precisely the moments please, please, was looking for the moments in which something passes and something new emerges. skies of transition. twilight, the changing moment. impossible to capture in words, the sky in nature as a space for the soul. a new way of seeing which please wish harold's contacts which have free duration, fundamentally changed of youth including a few of landscape. we can no longer see a sunset without thinking of free duration. that is to think this is how it all begins. this altar is not in a church, but in

a dressed in museum. 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 sweetly himself a 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 i think this is the made in famous one sale swoop data separately for christmas. 18 o 8. there is this painting in his studio and you have to imagine it really did

like a volume talk a, well, i guess i have i dressed and had never seen anything like it when he painted this picture fleet, 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 much populous and sleeping. these was a central figure. but one who divided opinion is on a freight branch was controversial, except the west fans that collected his paintings and identified with his works. and then with those who said it's so monotonous, it's very melancholy for me to call the police. they spent 30 more years of his life and dressed and he married, had children, and died in poverty in 1840 his paintings. dano had fallen out of favor. realism won out over his romanticism. he was condemned to oblivion for they should live through troubled times. the french revolution had just failed

. the old political order was turned upside down. napoleon conquered europe and occupied, rested in saxony, in $1813.00 calls for democracy and freedom grew louder and shape slightly, thinking the cutter spit out was the doctor is friedreich's 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 great political upheaval, heights that opposed these challenges for the people of his time inside that tight for hope, all is fordable, restart literally was born on september 5th, 1774, to a strict protestant family. in guy's side, 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 water can also be threatening. the huge ice flow is pile up to form apparent at the sky is less than the turtle. ice shimmers blueish 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 failed. 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

cusp, adobe 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, sneak, and it's please say she's home. this awareness, that's what set him apart, that this awareness that there's something beyond something that humans cannot grasp. destination of some kind of. and that is exactly what german romanticism is all about. translation it's most important. 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 the box 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. 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 bucks, month or the alps. he again created a fantasy landscape this time from the 4th of the mountains here in the original location, we meet up with a landscape photographer acutely unsure and back up 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, the particulars from the big feel free dress mountains,

including this apparent mid shape of the mountains which is very pronounced in the vaults. my peak were a connection between the fleet and the divine good for me, these are freed ration my message from you can also find free duration. today carry on shooting bag of fines, pre police moments in the present. this is how he sees the box man. and this is how caused by dobby safely thought. another popular free police motif was the who didn't cop photographed today. and painted 200 years ago. freed reach and shown back out both have a feeling for the vulnerability of creation. to meet his lunch landscape is not just in motion, not just beautiful. it tells me something. when i look down here to day, i see how erosion 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 often for them, but obviously some con, carry on. sure. and that is a child of his time just like us, but obviously they both are faced with on certain times in which old orders are crumbling and both confront the challenges of these times in their art. but customer david situation can also be full of the joys of life. pointed chalk, 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 is 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 his last has fallen 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 a frozen, as if he controls the elements a radically emptied picture, probably pre leased 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 pains you freeze, which was rediscovered in 19 o 6 germany, god, re acquainted with this painter in a spectacular exhibition of the day. i went to the host at this once in a lifetime exhibition for the police was a sensation, how people really celebrated items was higher. the monk by the sea has remained an icon of modernism. the treasures of the not to not only include another picture

that c please painted in the same period to does it have? these are similes and cities, colors. these move expressed through the light that actually does contain wonderfully and 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, like much more color than it mid day is 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. a 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 or hope? in the center of the picture is a tiny little bird splice. it's still a mystery. he doesn't tell any complete story because we as visitors as an audience, can each 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. nothing, i gotta say 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 launch full 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 is a freeze fleet lease original brushstroke from over painting and 14 layers of varnish and mix interesting discoveries in the process. the design it use. i prepared most of his colors himself, phones you know, and 11 does why he was suddenly so driven to color. this was, 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 single maxima. you can tell he's interested in the atmospheric, the franklin says, the ticket. the infra red images also reveal frequencies under the surface drawings, especially spectacular in the monk 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 for months, he thought you can see fantastically detailed sailing ships every road and every plank is recognizable akin ball. i'm 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 paint 5 minutes. i'm going to talk with the model this mission. and so he radically emptied this composition. something he never did again, maybe the most of, 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 the cds, you kosky, a friend and patron, a free police throughout his life. this picture represents a special story of the police 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 to the futures are nicholas the 1st and his wife, alexandra, who was princess. charlotte appreciated before her marriage. they travel to dresden and purchased this painting and cleaned at least the workshop on the ceiling boat.

perhaps charlotte saw herself in at the bottom. charlotte was the system of frederick william prussia when a fried used 1st collectors, which means that she was very familiar with his work in time. she took her love of his work with her to st. petersburg. it's no possible. charlotte's love for caspar david situation was not only celebrated at course, but too cold 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 the moon is in the sky. the small picture is the epitome of german romanticism. and it's

precisely this painting that will soon play a role of great significance. good . it is safe to drop hounds to an expedition 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 audiences a chance to, to get to explore his work in depth in the painter. they recognize the beginning of a new relationship to the life 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 in a 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 entering it 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 isn't life the east bed and extends 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 cost, but obviously please 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 a photograph of bare trees in hazy, shifting light. where does she see parallels between herself and the romantic painter born more than 220 years before her as it is. so i think many, ah, she's story and see it very differently that from me has pictures of sent to about this new just lice. and this experience that you have when you were alone and the throne that calling yourself to guns of say, so i have so look of awesome wrote a sensitivity for light and shadow for the feeling of being alone for the mood. this is what she shares with cds the to the moment that moment when the sun comes over the

horizon. and when i see the shadow that's moving on the wall, i'm seeing the turning. and i become aware of how i seize on this and how small i am and how big the world is. this is a seems that i see. and frederick's painting see this and then come in from 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 dobby playstation was just like them. the one question remains why does cast by davi treat and 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 of whose bodies we slip into, whose gaze we adopt. they are us. that's the great thing about freed ration the opportunity to inhabit these figures to find the place within his words . well, we can emphasize with our feelings. priestly trademark motif has set 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 fleet and we're here 2024 has made it very clear. the artist is everywhere. the tier 2, by the way,

in the classic movie bandy. and that's no coincidence, because walt disney was also an avowed fan of cast by davi to create place the
