At the Edge of the Forest
August Heinrich German
This view opens toward meadows and the distant Elbsandsteingebirge, sandstone mountains rising to the south of Dresden. Heinrich approached landscape with the sober objectivity of a botanist, which set him apart from his Romantic colleagues Friedrich and Dahl. This is one of only five known paintings by Heinrich; a related study is in the Museum Georg Schäfer, Schweinfurt.
