- A Blossom for the Romantic Artist Caspar David Friedrich
To celebrate his 250th birthday, a new rose variation is being dedicated to the pioneer of German Romanticism, Caspar David Friedrich, in Dresden. The naming ceremony is scheduled for this Thursday during Dresden's birthday festivities on Neumarkt. Culture Minister Barbara Klepsch (CDU), who serves as the godmother, expressed her enthusiasm for the Caspar-David-Friedrich rose. According to her statement, the rose is intended to reflect the devotion of the renowned Romantic artist towards nature's elegance. The rose was meticulously cultivated in honor of the anniversary.
The new Caspar-David-Friedrich rose will be cultivated and showcased in Dresden's botanical gardens, enhancing the city's beauty that Friedrich once depicted in his paintings. Following the naming ceremony, visitors to Dresden's Neumarkt can admire the Caspar-David-Friedrich rose during the ongoing birthday celebrations in Dresden.
