so when it comes to sustainability, information, i'm trend. alex text is on d. w, travel, you can have it, whatever. did you want your opinion feel free to write your thoughts in the comment the most? if you have to imagine that it really hits like a bomb, i just don't have anything upon the 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 will examine his paintings of magical beauty and dark melancholy. the painter of the sky, the sea solitude, silence. we'll also meet people in whom his paintings lived on and we'll find out why he depicted everyone from behind costs. but obviously, duration 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 step. now he rests his hair, blonde likes the 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 in sacks and switzerland that inspired the painting is

sobering. it's clear that for each of these figures wander through fantasy landscapes composed from different places. the goal is to quote, for the great job, it's a free duration is that the cost is not perceived as a clause, but that's an image is created. it's like a great utopia of a picture goals or to p. i know speed. the utopia of a picture, hardly anyone knows frequencies 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. definitely extend his paintings or something incredibly fast and nice thing on. 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 basically, she was looking for their moments in which something passes and something new emerges. sky is 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 politically harold's concepts which have free duration, fundamentally changed, of use, including a view 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 alter is not in a church,

but in addressed 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 so easily himself, a mind, 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 a traditional rules of art, a new beginning. this is the made in famous one itself, split data separately for christmas. 18 o 8. there is this painting in who should do this and you have to imagine it really did like a volume talk a, well, i just, i have,

i came to bump up dressed and had never seen anything like it when he painted this picture for you today 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 side. is that correct? is 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 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. donald had fallen out of favor realism won out over his romanticism. he was condemned to oblivion. a sweet, 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 cutter. spit out was the doctor is free 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 would probably use these challenges for the people of his time inside that tight for hope all's fordable, restorative playfully was born on september 5th, 1774, to a strict protestant family, in 5 spots 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. a 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 hold this awareness. that's what set him apart, that this awareness that there's something beyond. something with humans cannot grasp destination for 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 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, 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 at the mountain. here in the original location, we made up with a landscape photographer acutely unsure and backup costs. but 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 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 showed back of fines pre police moments in the present. this is how he sees the that's month. and this is how caused by diabetes safely sought another popular street which motif was defined in cop photographed today and painted 200 years ago. friedrich and shown back out both have a feeling for the vulnerability of creation. demetrius london landscape 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 faith race can also be full of the joys of life. pointed chalk, cliffs rise from the waves white against blue, a steep coast line. the horizon is shaded by canopy 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? have his glasses fallen off? or is he overcome by fear of the steep drop? a woman points to something below him. could she be fleece wife, catalina, their honeymoon was spent here and lugen. the painting was created immediately afterwards, frequently tells a small, very private story here and creates an allegory of love, loyalty and face 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 as if frozen, as if he controlled the elements a radically emptied picture. probably sleep least most radical. the monk by the sea is at home in berlin, in the i to not, you know, i got out a and it was here that the forgotten pain to freeze place was rediscovered in 19 o. 6. germany got 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, had people really celebrated. the monk by the sea has remained an icon of modernism. the treasures of the nazi now gully include another picture of that

sleepless, painted in the same period. these have these shipments and these colors, these moves 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 tied 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, its 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. not tonight, 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 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 will so play the role speed on the the centimeter by centimeter layer by layer christine and lose it. freeze fleet least 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 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 of sibley ships. she said, let me see if you can see fantastically detailed sailing ships. every rope and every plank is recognizable akin ball and 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 of the police closeness to russia, and of russia's great love for him. the poet and statesmen must 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 and before her marriage. they travelled to dresden and purchased this painting increase 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 to which means that she was very familiar with his work in. and she took her love of his what with her to st. petersburg. and it's now some beautiful charlotte's love for a cost, but obviously she 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. a crescent 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 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 for 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 painting 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

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 as it is. so i think many, ah, she's story and see it very differently. that for me has pictures a sent to about this new to slice, 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 but a sensitivity for light and shadow for the feeling of being alone for the mood. this is what she shares with swedish the to the moment that moment when the sun comes

over the horizon. and when i see the shadows moving on, the wall, i'm seeing the earth turning. and i become aware of how i sit on this and how small i am and how big the world is. this is, it 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 david sweetly was just like them. the one question remains why does cost, 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 of 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 to find the place within his words. well, we can emphasize with our feelings. briefly, trademark motif has set a trend and been imitated thousands of times even in advertising. and of course, in computer games, the protagonists back is ever present. they're the avatars with which we enter the fray. they are us the slightly 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 translation the the
