This exhibition, comprising over two hundred works, offers a reflection on the main themes that structured German thinking. It presents for the first in France, Julius Schnorr Von Carolsfeld's painting in which a black-red-yellow winged angel appears to the Blessed Virgin Mary : The Annunciation. |
|
It places artworks and their artists—including Caspar David Friedrich, Paul Klee, Philipp Otto Runge and Otto Dix— in the intellectual context of their time, and confronts them with the writings of great thinkers, chief among whom is Goethe.
