„Und vor mir schwebte die Sonne, immer neue Schönheiten beleuchtend“ – Landschaftsmalerei im Harzgebirge

In the organizer's words:

Even before Heine, Romantic painters were increasingly discovering the Harz Mountains as an artistic subject towards the end of the 18th century. They were interested in the untamed and, as it were, sublime nature, which awakened longings far removed from the hectic hustle and bustle of urban life. The Harz mountains, forests and rivers are depicted in the form of ideal artistic landscapes and stylized as a symbolic place of romantic wanderlust and wanderlust. As a result, the Harz established itself as an aesthetic retreat until the late 20th century, attracting landscape painters from a wide variety of artistic eras. Louis Molitor uses characteristic depictions of the Harz natural landscape to shed light on the historical development of landscape painting in the Harz Mountains. A selection of coffee and pastries will be served.
