Gothic Windows in the Ruins of the Monastery at Oybin
Artist: Carl Gustav Carus (German, 1789–1869)
Original Dimensions: 17" x 13 1/4"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (ca. 1828) "This church, with its fine Gothic tracery, was founded in 1369, deserted in 1546, and later embraced as a motif by German Romantic artists. Carus visited in August 1820, making a drawing (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden) that served as a study for the painting. It depicts a vista through two windows—one on either side of the ruined choir—toward a pale morning sky and distant hill. In its starkness and opposition of dark and light, and with young trees referring to the cycle of life, the image invites both hope and meditation." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
