5.0 out of 5 stars Visual German Romantic Weltanschaunng, Nov 11 2005

By Mark Newbold - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Caspar David Friedrich (Paperback)

For someone new to the art of Casper David Friedrich, the first emotional response is that of awe. The color and compositions of Friedrich's work are humbling and humane at the same time. The artistic idealism found in his work is an organic out-growth of Friedrich's Protestant mystical piety at the zenith of German Romantic philosophical fervor.
Much metaphor, symbolism and perspective are at play within these works, that lead to an enobling of the human spirit. This is a perfect gift for anyone who is just beginning to increase their knowledge of 19th century European art.

This review is from: Caspar David Friedrich (Paperback)

I have always loved the works of Friedrich. This book does them full justice with the addition of a well written text exploring the artist's life and themes.
