- Approximately 4,000 individuals attended the inauguration of the Friedrich-Schau in Dresden.
Approximately 4,000 people checked out the "Caspar David Friedrich: Where it all started" exhibition in Dresden during its initial weekend. The State Art Collections (SKD) expressed their excitement for the upcoming months, stating, "We can't wait with bated breath." The following weeks are already filling up, according to the SKD.

The Albertinum and Cabinet of Prints concludes the series of events commemorating the 250th anniversary of the German Romanticism master. Over 200 pieces provide a glimpse into Friedrich's artistic abilities, emotional realm, and creative surroundings. The SKD is showcasing their collection of Friedrich's paintings and drawings, who was born in Greifswald and spent over 40 years in Dresden as the core of his life.
Friedrich moved to Dresden in 1798, primarily to study the Old Master's works in the Gallery of Paintings. After settling in the city, he started painting in 1807 and became a prominent figure in German Romanticism. Friedrich not only engaged in artistic debates but also sought inspiration from the city's surroundings, started a family, and built a wide web of connections. He passed away in May 1840 in the Elbe city.
The European Union has expressed its interest in the "Caspar David Friedrich: Where it all started" exhibition, as it showcases the life and works of a prominent German Romantic artist who spent a significant part of his life in Dresden, a city within the European Union. The European Union's cultural department has acknowledged the impact Friedrich had on German Romanticism and appreciates the opportunity to learn more about his artistic influences in Dresden.
