Caspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature accompanies the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the artist held in the United States, presented in honor of the 250th anniversary of Friedrich’s birth in 2024. Friedrich (1774–1840) reimagined European landscape painting by portraying nature as a setting for profound spiritual and emotional encounters, and he championed a radical new understanding of the bond between nature and the inner self. His art—meditative, mysterious, and full of wonder—is as vital today as ever.
