Dresden (dpa) - The romantic show of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD) in Moscow, which has been postponed several times due to the corona, can now be seen from April 22nd to August 8th.
The exhibition, entitled “Dreams of Freedom” and designed by US architect Daniel Libeskind, brings together over 300 exhibits, as the museum association announced on Wednesday.
According to the information, she brings romantic art from Russia and Germany into a previously unique dialogue.
After the presentation in the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the show can be seen in Dresden's Albertinum from October.
The focus is on romantic paintings, including masterpieces by Caspar David Friedrich, Alexei Gawrilowitsch Wenezianow, Carl Gustav Carus and Alexander Andrejewitsch Iwanow from the Tretyakov Gallery and the Albertinum, but also the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the State Museums in Berlin, the Hermitage St. Petersburg or the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
Objects associated with the lives of artists and people of the time can also be seen: the baton of composer Carl Maria von Weber or the boots that Napoleon probably wore during the Russian campaign in 1812.
In addition, selected positions in contemporary art, for example by Marlene Dumas, Wolfgang Tillmans or Boris Mikhailov, make it clear why Romanticism is viewed as the beginning of Modernism.
