Symbolising the German poet and thinker: 'The Poor Poet'. No other work of art by Spitzweg enjoys such great popularity to this day. A survey showed that 'The Poor Poet' - right after Leonardo da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' - is one of the Germans' favourite paintings, and Spitzweg has staged the image of the poet concentrating solely on the spiritual in a prototypical way here: Equipped against the cold with a blanket, a worn jacket and a sleeping cap and protected by an umbrella against the ingress of rainwater, he devotes himself unperturbed to his work.

Caspar David Friedrich's works convincingly realise the Romantic idea of profoundly interpreting and deciphering the 'Book of Nature'. The 'Daytime Cycle', created in 1821/22, also describes a life cycle in which the viewer is able to recognise childhood, youth, maturity and the serenity of old age. 'The Morning': The morning focuses on the lonely man in the fisherman's night, who begins his day's work on a quiet, reed-covered pond, surrounded by the omnipotence of awakening nature. 'Noon': In the second part of the cycle, a sandy path lined with heather and shrubs leads the viewer to distant dense forests. In the meadows, a hiker strides towards a pine grove, while a second hiker approaches the viewer along the path. 'The Afternoon': In the third part of the cycle, the reddish reflection of individual clouds indicates the approaching evening peace and bathes the landscape in a late afternoon light. The cornfield has already been partially harvested and the farmer is heading towards the end of the day in his horse and cart. 'The Evening': The evening shows two walkers contemplating the spectrum of the setting sun. The horizon still shines through the pine trunks, but in a few minutes the magic will be extinguished and the cool night will call for a return. This treasure from the Landesgalerie Hannover has been transferred to canvas exclusively for ars mundi. Each copy is framed in a sophisticated gilded solid wood moulding. The daytime cycle consists of four pictures. Format 34 x 46 cm (H/W) each. All four pictures in a set. 'For over a hundred years, the 'Daytime Cycle' has been one of the main works in the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover. Four pictures show ideal landscapes reminiscent of the Harz Mountains or the Giant Mountains. Unlike the later Impressionists, they were created in the studio and do not depict the same motif. Caspar David Friedrich, the most important artist of early German Romanticism, did not simply imitate nature, but created pictures of great emotional depth. Thanks to the excellent reproduction by ars mundi, these pictures can now be made accessible to many people who can enjoy an everlasting experience of nature with these pictures.' (Dr Katja Lembke, Landesmuseum Hannover)
