Culture vultures should head to the Kasse: pre-sale tickets are now available for a Berlin exhibition celebrating the 250th birthday of German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich.

Ticket sales open for Caspar David Friedrich exhibition in Berlin

Ticket pre-sales for the much-awaited Berlin exhibition that will celebrate 250 years since the birth of one of Germany’s most famous painters, Caspar David Friedrich (1774 -1840).

Taking place at the Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin, the special exhibition will run from April 19 until August 4, 2024 and will include 60 paintings and 50 drawings by the Romantic painter. The collection will include internationally renowned works, such as Das Eismeer (The Sea of Ice), Kreidefelsen auf Rügen (Chalk Cliffs on Rügen) and Der Mönch am Meer (The Monk by the Sea).

A standard ticket for the exhibition will cost 16,00 euros and a reduced-price ticket, 8,00 euros.

Romanticism captured Germany’s majestic landscapes

Heralded by the Alte Nationalgalerie as “Germany’s most significant Romantic painter”, many works of Casper David Friedrich captured majestic landscapes so typical of the Romantic period. A contemporary of Goethe, Friedrich earned his artistic reputation after he won a prize in 1805 at a competition that was organised by Germany’s most famous author.

For those new to his work, Friedrich’s most famous work, Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, is a good place to start. This 1818 work includes both the mountains and Rückenfigur (rear-facing figure) closely associated with his oeuvre.

Once the exhibition in Berlin has run its course, some of the collection will make its way to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is scheduled to host the first-ever US exhibition of Friedrich’s work, titled Caspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature.
