From the age of 24, the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) lived for the most part in Dresden where he quickly absorbed at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste the great Saxon tradition of drawing from nature, as well as the technique of sepia drawing, the two basic techniques that underpinned his painted work which he began in 1807. This show features more than 60 works on paper by the artist, including gouaches and watercolours, curated by Christina Grummt, a fellow of Stiftung Alfried Krupp, Greifswald, who is also compiling the catalogue raisonné of the artist’s drawings. The aim of the exhibition is to relate the drawings to Friedrich’s painted works, showing how he progressed from plein-air studies to the final works. To do this, the works are grouped according to his frequently repeated motifs such as architecture and ruins, and trees. The works are on loan from those German state museums where most of Friedrich’s works are found today: the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremburg, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin-Preussicher Kulturbesitz, Berlin, and the Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe, as well as other collections.

Jan Van Eyck’s Annunciation Diptych, 1441, from the museum’s own collection is at the centre of this exhibition of 18 paintings, illuminations, textiles, ivories and sculptures that examines the variety of grisaille works in late medieval art. The monochromatic technique employed by artists is based on the gradual application of a single colour, usually grey, to create a sculptural, sometimes trompe l’oeil effect. The Annunciation is brought together with another Van Eyck work, Saint Barbara, 1437, from the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp. Whereas the Annunciation is painted with a reduced palette to create two sculptural figures, Saint Barbara is “either an unfinished painting or one of the first independent drawings that has survived”, says the curator, Till-Holger Borchert. “The works on show come out of the idea that art history has always interpreted [grisaille] in a certain way by looking at specific genres. The paintings have received the most attention, but painting scholars don’t always know manuscripts, let alone sculptures, and suddenly you end up with explanations that are short of covering the whole ground.”
