Caspar David Friedrich Exhibition Tickets

15 December 2023 - 1 April 2024

Caspar David Friedrich stands for Romanticism like no other painter, his works are icons of a time of greatest social upheaval. On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of his birth, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is presenting over 100 of his paintings and drawings, including the most important works he created. The exhibition offers the most comprehensive panorama of his art for many years.

At the centre of the most comprehensive show in many years devoted to the foremost artist of German Romanticism is a thematic retrospective comprising over 50 paintings, among them a number of iconic key works, as well as around 90 drawings and selected works by Friedrich’s artist friends. The main theme is the new relationship between human and nature evoked in Friedrich’s landscapes. In the first third of the nineteenth century, the artist broke new ground as he transformed the landscape genre into »art for a new age«.
