Caspar David Friedrich seeks meditative silence, William Turner loves thunderstorms and storms, Jean-François Millet documents the hard life of farmers, Claude Monet studies gardens and meadows in changing light. Against the background of industrialization, nature takes on a new and important meaning. Landscape paintings reflect the city dwellers' longing for nature, idealize rural life and inspire philosophical reflections on becoming and passing away.
