Rooms with a View: The Open Window in the Nineteenth Century
By (author) Sabine Rewald
| book description |
During the first half of the 19th century, the open window emerged as a consistent motif in German, Danish, French, and Russian art. Rooms with a View is the first book to explore this intriguing theme in European art, with its Romantic intimations of unfulfilled longing and its associated qualities of poetry, luminosity, and interiority. Artists depicted this intangible mood with images of contemplative figures in hushed, sparely furnished rooms; painters diligently at work in their studios; simple, serene displays of light entering a chamber; and, windows as the focal point of views in their own right. Rooms with a View features forty oils and thirty works on paper by both well-known and largely undiscovered artists, including Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Gustav Carus, Georg Friedrich Kersting, Adolph Menzel, Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Martinus Rorbye, Jean Alaux, Leon Cogniet, and Fyodor Petrovich Tolstoy.
