CARL GUSTAV CARUS. An Overgrown Mineshaft

An Overgrown Mineshaft. Artist: Carl Gustav Carus (German, Leipzig 1789-1869 Dresden). Dimensions: 11 1/4 x 8 1/4 in. (28.6 x 21 cm). Date: ca. 1824.
Carus was a leading painter of German Romanticism, second in importance only to his close friend Caspar David Friedrich. He was a multitalented man: a correspondent of Goethe's, theorist, writer on art, medical professor, royal physician, and notable scientist. His now-famous <i>Nine Letters on Landscape Painting</i> (1831) reflects his changing attitude toward nature. Having initially embraced a religio-mystical Romanticism, one that was nurtured by his friendship with Friedrich, Carus then changed course, moving toward greater objectivity and a nascent naturalism. His increased spontaneity in the face of nature is vividly expressed in the modest motif of <i>An Overgrown Mineshaft</i>, an entrance to a rock cave that has been taken over by riotous weeds and bushes.
