Blicke auf Europa

Although exhibitions of works by artists such as Caspar David Friedrich, Adolph Menzel, and Max Liebermann have enjoyed great popularity in Germany in recent years, never before has a show held outside of the country presented nineteenth-century German art as comprehensively and attractively as this. Thanks to a new partnership formed by the three largest state museums-Berlin, Dresden, and Munich-this publication is the first to show what a rich cornucopia was produced by German painters between the French Revolution and the First World War. Additional works from more than twenty important German collections complete the volume.nThe selection of about 150 masterpieces, ranging from Classicism to Romanticism and Realism, demonstrates how German painters examined very different themes from European history and literature, how they traveled throughout Europe, and how they influenced other countries with their artistic ideas. Nineteenth-century German painting was truly European. (English edition ISBN 978-3-7757-1941-4
