9:45 am
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 hope. 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 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 and 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
9:46 am
a long time. and that's never good for paintings. if nobody knows the artist and then the 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 lose it. freeze fleet lease original brushstroke from over painting and 14 layers of varnish and mix interesting discoveries in the process. the design it father use. i prepared most of his colors himself or homes. you know, if i'm 11 does why he was suddenly so driven to colors. that's what that was a huge, the self confident step that on when painting he worked with way 15 layers of paint,
9:47 am
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 in for read images also reveal sleeping face 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, let me see if you can see fantastically detailed sailing ships. every rope and every plank is recognizable akin ball. i'm an anchor hanging over the side of the ship because i 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 mission 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.
9:48 am
this is a rather unknown word 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 place throughout his life. this picture represents a special story. a secret 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 appreciated before her marriage, they travelled to dresden and purchased this painting, inflated lease workshop on the sailing boat. perhaps charlotte saw herself in at

9:51 am
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 see. so this 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 swedish. 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 floated area with islands of sand and mud. dark groups of trees,
9:52 am
alternate with light meadows. in the background, a barge sales on the elder entering 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 now 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

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 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 diabetes was just like them. the one question remains. why does caspar diabetes and they show people almost exclusively from behind? was he unable or unwilling to paint faces?
9:55 am
