Wahrnehmung Und Konstruktion [German]

In this volume of essays, individual aspects of Carl Gustav Carus's work and influence are the subject of an interdisciplinary study. Against the background of the romantic conception of science to which Carus adhered throughout his life, recognised experts examine his work on medicine, art theory, anthropology, and psychology. Carus maintained in-depth correspondence with important contemporaries, working as a doctor at the Saxon court for many years, and his numerous writings were already well-received during his lifetime due to his prominent social position. Finally, the presentation and interpretation of his extensive artistic oeuvre is complemented by the results of technical analyses of the Dresden and Berlin paintings.
