Reviews
"A triumph of bookmaking."--Christoph Irmscher, Wall Street Journal
Winner of the 2019 Novalis Prize for innovative research on European Romanticism in any field, sponsored by Novalis Gesellschaft
"In beautiful and, at times, poetic prose, Nina Amstutz masterfully explores Friedrich's late work through the lens of German Romantic nature philosophy and the life sciences. Her revisionary analysis establishes a new place of central importance for these paintings."--Marsha Morton, author of Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture: On the Threshold of German Modernism
"Amstutz persuades the reader that Friedrich's paintings explore the mutual constitution of self and nature, of body and earth; that they do via Romantic philosophy's blend of metaphysical and empirical inquiry."--Alexander Nemerov, Stanford University
