"During the first half of the nineteenth century, Danish and German artists studying in Paris and Rome brought back the concept of "plein air" painting and began to paint out-of-doors on their native soil.

This beautiful book focuses on the painters and paintings of this period, p ..."

"When Kari Friedrich Schinkel finally realised his long-held wish to design stage sets in 1815 under the new director general of the Royal Theatres in Berlin, Karl Count of Bruhl, this introduced a new epoch in the field of stage design. This work provides explanations about how the designs were used, on contemporary judgements of them."

This volume redresses the balance. Although many will not be familiar with the great artists included in the volume, Caspar David Friedrich, Lovis Corinth, and Max Klinger are well-known names whose work forms t ..."

His favourite motifs, mountainous landscapes with solitary figures, ruins of chapels and oak trees, and rendered with mystical light and religious intensity. The elements which make up a tradit ..."
