Caspar David Friedrich

Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) is considered the most important artist of the German Romantic period. This long-awaited publication is the first comprehensive standard work of Friedrich's drawings. Caspar David Friedrich's drawings, primarily nature and landscape studies, fascinate through the delicacy and meticulousness of their execution. Impressive preparations for the famous &Oumlbilder such as &quot Kreidefelsen auf R&uuml gen&quot (Chalk Rocks on R&uuml gen&quot) are made by filigree pencil drawings and watercolours. This two-volume, opulently illustrated catalogue of Friedrich's drawings is the first to provide a well-founded chronological overview of the works attributed to him. The catalogue numbers list all the technical data as well as important information on provenance, exhibitions, literature and whereabouts. Finally, the appendix lists misattributions and works that cannot be traced. The appealing layout and extra-large format make the work a particularly impressive book event from an aesthetic point of view.
