On September 5, 2024, the Greifswald-born painter, draughtsman and graphic artist Caspar David Friedrich will be 250 years old. Exhibitions in Berlin, Dresden, Greifswald, Hamburg and New York celebrate the pioneer of German Romanticism as an artist who developed pictorial motifs and techniques "that reflect the individuality, intimacy, infinity and complexity of sensations that the natural world awakens in us" (The Met, press release).

In his interactive contribution, David Hornemann v. Laer will take a closer look at individual works by the artist, taking into account Friedrich's dictum: "A picture must not be invented, but felt".
