The collected volume outlines a research project at the Angermuseum Erfurt and serves as the starting point for a reevaluation of the Erfurt landscape painter Friedrich Nerly (1807-1878), who spent his main creative years in Italy, particularly in Venice. To do justice to the phenomenon of Nerly, it is essential to consider the changes in artistic, economic, and social contexts. Nerly's work is connected to the innovative painting practices and subject matters of early plein air painters, as well as to sales strategies that responded to the globalizing art market and tourism. In the context of cultural transfer research, cross-border questions arise, such as the achievements Nerly brought to Italy or the inspirations he found in his second home.
