Die Zeichnungen Caspar David Friedrichs, vorrangig Natur- und Landschaftsstudien, faszinieren durch die Feinheit und Akribie ihrer Ausführung. Berühmte Ölbilder wie "Kreidefelsen auf Rügen" werden in beeindruckender Weise durch filigran ausgearbeitete Bleistiftzeichnungen und Aquarelle vorbereitet. Der zweibändige, opulent ausgestattete Katalog sämtlicher Zeichnungen Friedrichs ermöglicht erstmals einen fundierten chronologischen Überblick über die zugeschriebenen Werke. Die Katalognummern verzeichnen jeweils sämtliche technische Daten sowie die wichtigen Angaben zu Provenienz, Ausstellungen, Literatur und Verbleib. Im Anhang werden schließlich Fehlzuschreibungen bzw. nicht nachweisbare Arbeiten aufgelistet. Das ansprechende Layout und extra große Format machen das Werk zu einem ästhetisch besonders eindrucksvollen Buch-Ereignis. (C.H. Beck) Please contact for International Shipping charges.
