A work that focuses on Caspar David Friedrich, the leading German Romantic artist of the 19th century.

Hailed by Frank Whitford, art critic for The Sunday Times, as ‘the best book about this fascinating artist that I’ve ever read’, this scholarly and thoughtprovoking book, available again after some time out of print, casts a remarkable light on Caspar David Friedrich, the leading German Romantic artist of the 19th century.

Werner Hofmann was born in Vienna. He was Director of the Kunsthalle, Hamburg, from 1969 to 1990 and has also held guest professorships at Berkeley, Columbia and Harvard universities. He has published numerous books on the art of the 19th and 20th centuries.
