NEW Honoring his 250th anniversary, the Met presents the first comprehensive exhibition of this groundbreaking Romantic in the U.S. Caspar David Friedrich's radical inquiry into the bond between nature and inner self revolutionized landscape painting. Emphasizing the individuality, intimacy, open-endedness, and complexity of our responses to the natural world, his art still resonates today. Gallery talk by catalogue essayist Prof. Cordula Grewe. Time on your own for the American Wing at 100 including the newly-installed Tiffany window: Garden Landscape.

Cordula Grewe

Dr. Cordula Grewe specializes in modern European art, with an emphasis on visual piety, word-image relationships, aesthetics, and art as politics. Her books include Painting the Sacred in the Age of Romanticism (2009), The Nazarenes: Romantic Avant-garde and the Art of the Concept (2015), Wilhelm Schadow (1788-1862): Werkverzeichnis der Gemälde (2017), and The Arabesque from Kant to Comics (2021) as well as essay collections on museums of mankind (Die Schau des Fremden, 2006) and print culture (The Enchanted World of German Romantic Prints, co-edited with John Ittmann, 2017). Her current research projects now push into the 20th and 21st century, ranging from modern theo-aesthetics (Ingres to the Leipzig School) and the body as medium (Emma Hamilton to Nicki Minaj) to art in the Third Reich (Nazi Cultures of Display). In addition to her art historical research, she has embarked on a ‘non-fictional novel,’ part historical reckoning, part family history, and titled Mink in Flames: A Memoir of Immigration, Intergenerational Trauma, and the American Dream.
