This exhibition celebrates the most prominent painter of the German Romantic movement, whose initial renown was significantly fostered by acquisitions and public exhibitions in Berlin. The Nationalgalerie, housing one of the world’s largest collections of Friedrich’s paintings, makes this event particularly significant.
