| book description |

Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), the greatest painter of the Romantic movement in Germany, was perhaps Europeâ€™s first truly modern artist. His melancholy landscapes, often peopled by lonely wanderers, represent experiments towards a radically subjective art, one in which, as Friedrich wrote, the painter depicts not â€˜what he sees before him, but what he sees within him.â€™ Yet in their awesome power to capture the individuality of visible forms Friedrichâ€™s pictures also accept and express the irredeemable otherness of Nature. Winner of the 1992 Mitchell Prize for the History of Art, this compelling and highly original book is now made available in a compact pocket format. Beautifully illustrated, Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape is the most comprehensive account ever published in English on this most fascinating of nineteenth-century masters.
