Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This magnificent book traces the development of nineteenthcentury German paintings through the story of a remarkable institutionthe Nationalgalerie in Berlin, one of Germanys most important collections. In their substantial general essays, Franoise ForsterHahn surveys the social and political background to art and culture in Berlin in the nineteenth century; Claude Keisch and Angelika Wesenberg discuss the reception of German painting in Germany itself; and PeterKlaus Schuster provides a historical overview of the Nationalgalerie.The authors focus on some seventy paintings, from the sublime canvases of Caspar David Friedrich and other Romantic painters early in the nineteenth century to scenes of industrial Berlin and the brilliantly observed works of the naturalists of the 1840s and 1850s, ending with the Impressionist and PostImpressionist innovations of French and German artists that so startled Berlin around 1900, when the Nationalgalerie acquired them against the wishes of the highly conservative and antiFrench Kaiser. Richly detailed cityscapes by Eduard Gaertner and Johann Erdmann Hummel provide wonderful views of midcentury Berlin, and powerful works by Max Beckmann and Lovis Corinth announce the Expressionism of later decades of the twentieth century.Claude Keisch is Senior Curator at the Nationalgalerie, Berlin. PeterKlaus Schuster is Director General at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Franoise ForsterHahn is professor of the history of art, University of California. Angelika Wesenberg is Curator at the Nationalgalerie, Berlin.Published by National Gallery CompanyDistributed by Yale University PressThis book is published to accompany an exhibition at the National Gallery in London and at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.Published by National Gallery Company Distributed by Yale University Press
