A gorgeous presentation

Sabine Rewald's Caspar David Friedrich is one of the most striking discussions to evolve from recent art books: it presents the works of a major German painter who included pictures of the moon in practically every painting he produced in the 1800s. A number of his works are featured along with details about what was known of the moon in Friedrich's lifetime, and the artist's Dresden friends. A gorgeous presentation.
