German Romantic Painter, 1777-1810
..German painter, draughtsman and theorist. He stands alongside Caspar David Friedrich as a leading figure in German Romantic painting even though his early death restricted his oeuvre to relatively few stages of development. The enduring prominence of philosophical and theoretical concerns suggests that further work would have contributed to the history of ideas as well as to that of art. Runge's greatest influence was on later, largely 20th-century artists and thinkers rather than on his immediate contemporaries. While 19th-century developments certainly bore out Runge's claim for a new, symbolic role for landscape, Related Paintings of Philipp Otto Runge :. | Ruhe auf der Flucht | The Morning | seiner Frau | Nosturtium Leaves and Blossoms | The Artist-s Wife and their Young Son | Related Artists: Johann Henrich Wedekind painted Portrait of Empress Anna of Russia in 18th century
