Few artists are interpreted as contrastingly as Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840), arguably the most significant German painter of the 19th century. Many consider him the quintessential romantic landscape painter. However, for Helmut Börsch-Supan, who has engaged with Friedrich's work for decades, the artist's paintings are deeply rooted in religious sentiment. In this book, he explores Friedrich's thought processes regarding what the artist himself referred to as "peculiarity," which underpinned his personality and creative individuality. The connections between his works are also illuminated, revealing the overall body of work as a cohesive whole. Insights into Friedrich's essence and thinking are provided by his friends and opponents: Carl Gustav Carus, Johan Christian Dahl, Gerhard von Kügelgen, Georg Friedrich Kersting, Wassili Andrejewitsch Schukowski, and Maximilian Speck von Sternburg.
