Gallery Edition – Eine Zyklopenmauer bei Civitella, dem heutigen Bellegra by Carl Morgenstern – 66×44 Interior Architectural Study

Curatorial Narrative In 1856, Carl Morgenstern’s “Eine Zyklopenmauer bei Civitella, dem heutigen Bellegra” situated itself at the nexus of Realist landscape painting and the burgeoning modernity of the industrial era.
