Even eager connoisseurs of the arts have rarely heard of Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) whose oeuvre is as significant as Delacroix’s in France or Turner’s in England. In his unforgettable, evocative paintings, Friedrich makes landscape take on symbolic religious and political meanings – his unique body of work anticipates the later ideas of Impressionism, Expressionism and Abstraction.
