A facsimile edition of one of the German Romanticist's six surviving sketchbooks, hidden in a private collection for nearly two centuries
When a German museum consortium acquired Caspar David Friedrich's (1774-1840) Karlsruhe sketchbook, it became the last of the artist's six surviving sketchbooks to enter a public collection. Dating from around 1804, the volume captures a pivotal moment in Friedrich's artistic development: 33 drawings made during his walks through Dresden and its surroundings. Notably, the sketch of the oak tree on page nine features in Friedrich's contemporaneous paintings Cairn in Snow (1807) and The Abbey in the Oakwood (1809-10). This Swiss-bound facsimile edition of the Karlsruhe sketchbook reproduces each page and includes a scholarly introduction contextualizing Friedrich's creative process, acquainting readers with the artist's visual world as seen through his own eyes.

About the Authors
Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) was born in Greifswald, studied at the art academy in Copenhagen, and settled in Dresden from 1798. His landscape compositions testify to a great inwardness and melancholy. Friedrich called for a new pictorial consciousness on the part of the viewer, and at the same time his works elude unambiguity and are open to ever new interpretations.
