of developments in German art of the nineteenth century is represented.

A group of airy, deceptively simple landscapes by Caspar David Friedrich evoke his nature mysticism, while the complicated speculative mind of his contemporary among the early Romantics, Philipp Otto Runge, is revealed in powerful figure and plant compositions. The finely drawn portraits, Italian landscapes, and religious compositions of Overbeck, Cornelius, Horny, and Carl Philipp Fohr, among others, reveal the very essence of the tenets of the Nazarenes, a group of German artists who settled in Rome in the second decade of the century and advocated a return to the manner of the Italian Renaissance and to Dürer. A famous double portrait of 1812, where Overbeck and Cornelius drew each other, is part of this group.

A large, luminous view of the sea off Taormina, with ruins in the foreground, by Johann Georg von Dillis presents this outstanding landscape artist at his best, while a more close and personal attitude toward the environment is shown in the drawings of Ferdinand Olivier and the watercolor by Erhard, the latter, showing one of his fellow artists at work on a landscape sketch.

An intimate genre approach is evident also in the charming watercolor interior by Ludwig Emil Grimm, younger brother of the two famous collectors of German folk tales.

In the second half of the century a generally more forceful expression is evident in the brilliant drawings of Adolph Menzel, and in the works of Anselm Feuerbach and Hans von Marées. Feuerbach's study of a sleeping child, made in preparation for a painting, has an almost sculptural quality, akin to the one pervading the wistful sketch of his famous model Hanna Risi as Iphigenia, also in the exhibition. Hans von Marées' classical figure studies are further proof of the variety of
