Caspar David Friedrich. No one does it quite like him. Landscape paintings that are at once photographically realistic (at a time when photography didn't yet exist) and deeply personal and symbolic. The painting places us inside the landscape and lets us experience unspoken introspection through visual immersion. A visual double bluff. Magic. Or rather, visual mysticism.

Das Grosse Gehege bei Dresden (1831/32).

"Mountains in the Rising Fog," Caspar David Friedrich, c. 1835.

Friedrich (1774-1840) seems perfect for spooky season; his Romantic landscapes, once nearly forgotten, have been rediscovered by a new generation of Romantics....although it was a bumpy ride, with his work being briefly co-opted by the Nazi party, then dismissed in the face of growing modernism, and then being exploited by Disney and horror-movie makers. In the 1970s he began to be taken seriously again and now is the subject of many a museum exhibit.

The view is of the Rosenberg, in Bohemian Switzerland. Makes the imagination go wild, eh? Dark castles, swordfights, mad scientists, curses, witches...whatever your mind can dream up...

From the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.

This September marks the 250 years of Caspar David Friedrich - the famous German painter who has become synonymous with Romanticism.

In the latest blog post I offer a few listening tips on the subject of CDF, including podcasts and radio programmes that will help you get acquainted with this remarkable artist - an absolute favourite of mine.
