When we think of Caspar David Friedrich, we first think of cityscapes of Greifswald, Neubrandenburg, or Dresden. Yet it was the small village of Breesen near Neubrandenburg that the painter left behind a whole collection of drawings, where he even stayed for months. His favorite sister and mother-surrogate, Catharina, was married to Pastor August Sponholz in Breesen. Subjects included villagers, landscapes, tools, the rectory, and the church. The most famous Breesen motif is the 1822 painting "Village Landscape by Morning Light." More about this in the chapter "Home, Family, and the Image of Women" cdf240.blogspot.com/2014/03/caspar-david-friedrichs-kleines-dorf.html
