A special -148 pages- on Caspar David Friedrich's 250th anniversary in his hometown of Dresden.

Slow traveller Caspar David Friedrich let nature and the landscape take effect on him at a slow, steady pace. Friedrich wanted to experience what he saw, feeling it and sensing it on his mind and probably also on his soul. His paintings are composed of sketches from years past, combined with what he saw and drew recently. What did Caspar David Friedrich want to say with his oeuvre? What was his deepest goal and his most fundamental desire? There is so much charge in his work that inspiration can be found in every spot of a canvas. Enigmatic and touching. The hues in his works show a great understanding of the colours and scents of nature. He was an inspirer of Samuel Beckett and Walt Disney. Religious and radical. The most important painter of German Romanticism. He is considered a forerunner of Impressionism. He was ahead of his time. Dresden was his hometown and from August 2024, the city honours his 250th birth anniversary. In grand fashion, full of charge, as it should be.
