Corner of the Meadow with Reeds and Other Plants

Prints and Drawings

c. 1800

Adrian Zingg
Swiss, 1734-1816

Zingg moved to Dresden early in his career and was a prolific draftsman, engraver, and etcher of landscapes. His oeuvre was key to both Romantic and Realist landscape painting in Germany. In its focus on the natural world, this closely observed botanical study is just the type of drawing that profoundly influenced the great German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich.
