The Enchanted World of German Romantic Prints

Sep 21, 2013 - Dec 29, 2013
Prints created by Austrian, German, and Swiss artists included in this exhibition reflect the dramatic shifts in taste in the arts during a time of significant cultural and political transformation throughout the German-speaking regions of Central Europe during the Romantic period. The selection of 125 prints reflects a number of the artistic enthusiasms of the Romantic period, such as the emerging taste for wild, untamed landscapes; for intimate family scenes and friendship portraits; and for recently rediscovered ancient Nordic sagas and age-old fairytales. Offering a broad overview of a vital chapter in the history of European printmaking, The Enchanted World of German Romantic Prints will illuminate one of the richest areas of the Philadelphia Museum of Art鈥檚 collections.

On view in the exhibition will be major prints by important artists of the German Romantic era such as Caspar David Friedrich (1774鈥1840); Joseph Anton Koch (1768鈥1839); Carl Wilhelm Kolbe the Elder (1759鈥1835); Johann Heinrich Lips (1758鈥1817); Eugen Napoleon Neureuther (1806鈥1882); Ferdinand Olivier (1785鈥1841); Ludwig Richter (1803鈥1884); Philipp Otto Runge (1777鈥1810); and Johann Gottfried Schadow 1764鈥1850) as well as Ludwig Emil Grimm (1790鈥1863), the younger brother of the famous Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm.
