Est pictura poësis, est poësis pictura. Die Landschaften von Carl Grass (1767–1814)

Summary/Abstract: Writer and artist Carl Grass is a fascinating and exceptional creator in the Baltic cultural memory. His life and work was governed by a Sturm und Drang-style desire for genius. Grass recorded landscapes both in art and in poetry, progressing from sentimental nature sketches to organised ideal landscapes. The examples of Swiss artists made him one of the first cultivators of painting trips; his later Italian experiences enabled him to develop as a theoretician of landscape painting and a classicist.
