This is a reproduction of “Forest Path near Spandau” of 1835 by Carl Blechen.  This German Romantic painter was born in Cottbus and began studying at the Academy of Arts in Berlin in 1822 when he was twenty-four.   He repudiated Romanticism in favor of Realism as his career matured.  He became a professor at the Berlin Academy in 1835 and his paintings began to show a concentration on mysterious dark natural scenery reminiscent of his earlier work.  In this work a young woman carries a bund le of hay in the midst of a natural cathedral.  The artist died in 1840.  This masperpiece is in the Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
