The early nineteenth century was a dynamic period in the history of German art during which painting played a significant part in the great cultural resurgence commonly known as the Romantic Movement.
Exciting and original developments emerged, of which the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge are the most notable examples, and they are examined here against the background of the great flowering in German Literature, philosophy and music.
