Ulrich Finke presents a richly detailed survey that moves from the brooding, spiritual landscapes of the Romantic era — with its giants like Caspar David Friedrich — through the socially charged Realism of the mid-nineteenth century, and onward to the raw, emotional intensity of the Expressionist movement that would define the early twentieth century.\n\nFinke's authoritative scholarship illuminates the broader cultural, philosophical, and political forces that shaped German artistic identity, drawing compelling connections between the canvas and the turbulent world beyond it. Written with both academic rigour and genuine passion for the subject, this volume argues that German painting during this period was not merely a regional phenomenon but a central force in the development of Western modernism. It is an indispensable reference for students, collectors, and anyone captivated by the question of how a nation's soul finds expression in paint and form — and what it reveals when it does.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203200032987,"sku":"2026200015410-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/37b1314c-4fec-4662-9869-aecbc54f841e.png?v=1788145513","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015410-secondhand-german-painting-from-romanticism-to-expressionism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
