Detailed Description
In the early 1800s, a group of German artists broke away from the neoclassical style that dominated Europe at the time. These artists, known as the German Romantics, turned to nature and emotion for inspiration, creating a new style that would come to dominate German art for the next several decades. The German Romantics were inspired by the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller, both of whom championed an emotional, individualistic approach to life. The artists of the German Romantic movement sought to express their innermost feelings and experiences through their work, often using nature as a metaphor for the human condition. Famous German Romantic artists include Caspar David Friedrich, Philipp Otto Runge, and Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Friedrich was known for his paintings of wintry landscapes, in which he sought to capture the feeling of loneliness and isolation. Runge was a leading figure in the German Romantic movement, and his work often explored the relationship between man and nature. Schinkel was one of the most prolific and influential architects of the German Romantic era, known for his Gothic Revival designs. The German Romantic movement had a profound impact on the art of the 19th century, and its legacy can still be seen in the work of many contemporary artists.
