Caspar David Friedrich at the MET

If you missed this remarkable exhibition at the National Gallery in Berlin, now is your chance to experience it in New York City. In honor of the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich's birth, the MET has brought together approximately 250 works by this seminal Romantic painter. Friedrich revolutionized landscape painting, transforming it into a powerful medium for profound spiritual and emotional encounters. His iconic imagery—solitary figures dwarfed by vast skies, rugged cliffs, and misty forests—embodies the German Romantic movement’s quest to explore the bond between nature and the human soul. This exhibition offers an unparalleled opportunity to delve into Friedrich's legacy and reflect on how his evocative vision of nature resonates in today's world, where the relationship between humanity and the environment remains as vital as ever.
