Caspar David Friedrich. Lifelines

With six paintings, more than 60 drawings and prints as well as numerous archival documents and letters, the Pomeranian State Museum has one of the most extensive collections of original material from Caspar David Friedrich's life and work in the world. The special exhibition "Lifelines" presents the museum's extensive holdings almost in their entirety for the first time and brings them into a dialog with treasures such as the baptismal entry from 1774 and additional borrowed works as special "birthday guests" in order to trace Friedrich's path from his first attempts at drawing to his late work as a painter. Funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Ministry for 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.
