Meadows near Greifswald
16.10.2024 - 05.01.2025 Caspar David Friedrich remained closely connected to Greifswald, the place of his birth, childhood and youth, throughout his life. One of the most impressive testimonies to this is the painting "Meadows near Greifswald", which is kept in Hamburg. In 2024, the Pomeranian State Museum will bring the painting back to the Baltic Sea and place it at the center of the special exhibition, which will highlight Friedrich's connection to his "hometown" and conclude the anniversary year. The presentation is complemented by preparatory drawings, city views by his contemporaries and a spatial collage exploring Friedrich's meadow landscape. Funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Ministry of Science, Culture, Federal and European Affairs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald - Office for Education, Culture and Sport, the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung together with the Sparkasse Vorpommern Foundation with the help of PS Lottery Savings and the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from the Fund for Vorpommern and Eastern Mecklenburg. With Caspar David Friedrich through the year 2024 - we are part of it!
