Two hundred and fifty years of German history - from 1774 to the present day - unfold through the landscapes of Caspar David Friedrich, the most German of the artists who revealed to the world the Romantic languor of the spirit. Goethe, for example, was so irritated by this particular melancholy that he smashed one of his paintings on a table; Disney was so inspired by Friedrich's work that it became the basis and background for the famous animated film Bambi. Worshiped by famous authors of the early 20th century and idolized by the Nazis, hated by the 1968 generation and despised by his contemporaries, Kaspar David Friedrich is as controversial as the paintings he painted. Florian Illyes continues the tradition set by his previous works and guides readers through the corners of history, colliding eras and personalities, external chronicles and private lives, to create a portrait of an artist traveling through times and eras.
