Views on Europe: Europe and German Painting in the Nineteenth Century

Published by Hatje Cantz.
Text by Ulrich Bischoff, Wolfgang Cortjaens, et al.

Views of Europe collects not just the literal views that its title suggests, but perspectives on German and European painting. It juxtaposes the works of German masters of the nineteenth century--Caspar David Friedrich, Adolph Menzel, Max Liebermann--with painters of similar interests and stature from abroad, pointing up the interactions between nineteenth-century artistic production in Germany and throughout the continent. Areas of influence catalogued here include Italy, whose atmosphere inspired Karl Blechen, Arnold Böcklin and Oswald Achenbach; northern Europe, through the Academy in Copenhagen and the discovery of Nordic myths in paintings by Philipp Otto Runge and Caspar David Friedrich; Switzerland and Austria, whose mountainous regions evoke both freedom and the romantic cult of nature; and Belgium, England, France, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands. With 150 masterpieces from 20 major German collections.
