Paperback. Condition: New. Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), one of the great visionaries of European art, spent all his life in Northern Germany, apart from four years studying in Copenhagen, and his output appears to consist almost entirely of German landscapes. But far from being parochial, he was, in the words of the French sculptor David d'Angers, the artist who 'discovered the tragic in landscape'. His paintings assemble minutely observed elements of nature into compo­sitions that celebrate the riches and the melancholy of a cosmos fully imbued with the divine, while never losing an almost hallucinatory engagement with reality. For all their clarity, they are the quintessence of Romanticism.Almost too familiar today, to Friedrich's contemporaries these extraordinary paint­ings were astonishing and challenging. This volume records the reactions of some of the most prominent figures of German Romanticism: Kleist, Brentano and Arnim (in a witty series of dialogues between gallery visitors alternately bewitched and bewildered by Friedrich's Monk by the Sea), the painter and physiologist Carus, the psychologist Schubert, the Russian poet and translator Zhukovsky. A piece by Goethe and his colleague Heinrich Meyer records the somewhat baffled admiration of the earlier generation; and Friedrich's own Commandments of Art breathes the almost overwhelming passion with which he approached his vocation. An introduction by the leading scholar Johannes Grave situates Friedrich's art and its reception in the context of the Romantic movement both in Germany and in Europe as a whole.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the early intellectual development of Martin Luther by scrutinizing various sources, including personal letters, notes from his students, and his own writings such as lecture notes and annotations. The author painstakingly studies the complex interplay between Luther's initial, rigorous adherence to the dominant scholastic theology of the time, and the gradual emergence of a new perspective on sin, faith, and salvation that would later contribute to the Protestant Reformation. The book explores the profound influence of nominalist theologians, especially the Franciscan philosopher William of Ockham, on Luther's thought. It highlights the centrality of the Bible as the authority in matters of faith, a shift that would become a cornerstone of Protestantism. The author argues that Luther's early struggles with the concept of God's wrath and his own sinfulness, as well as his profound reading of Augustine, led him to view salvation as a gift of God's grace, received through faith, rather than through human effort or adherence to religious rituals. Through a meticulous analysis of Luther's writings and the historical context in which they were produced, this book deepens our understanding of the intellectual journey that transformed Martin Luther from a devout Catholic monk into the father of the Protestant Reformation.
