| Research Abstract |
The researches on Caspar David Friedrich, a painter of the German Romanticism were made mostly in museums and libraries in Dresden and other institutions in Germany and Russia during the academic year 2005-2007 to analyze artist's world-view (Weltanschauung) and the transformation of modern visuality reflected in his paintings. The issue on historical receptions is mainly examined through the researches into the German Centennial Exhibition in 1906, where Friedrich's rediscovery was made under the power politics of nationalistic movement. The continuity of German Romanticism into the 20^<th> century is pointed out for its “sublimity", “irony" and “social commitment" which also are the key factors in German contemporary art as in Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer.
