Caspar David Friedrich. Where it all started

The landscape paintings of Friedrich with their vibrant colours, his enigmatic rendering of light, and his depiction of vast horizons have had an enduring influence on our view of nature. They derive their remarkable luminosity from a subtle transparency in the application of paint and its fascinating nuances. In the Albertinum, his works are juxtaposed with important landscape paintings from the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister Dresden.
