From November 22, 2024 to March 2, 2025, the Klassik Stiftung Weimar will be showing the special exhibition Caspar David Friedrich, Goethe and Romanticism in Weimar.
Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) is today regarded as the most important German Romantic artist. His works have become icons. What is little known is that this career also began in Weimar and was closely linked to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The Klassik Stiftung Weimar is taking the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich's birth as an opportunity to focus on this mutual attraction, which has never been shown before, in a special exhibition. For the first time ever, the important Weimar Friedrich collection will be exhibited and Weimar will be presented as a place of romantic art and culture.
The exhibition will feature paintings, drawings and prints by Caspar David Friedrich and works by Goethe as well as Caroline Bardua, Carl Gustav Carus, Georg Friedrich Kersting, Philipp Otto Runge, Luise Seidler and other Romantic artists.
