Frankfurt, between German tradition and modernity
Iconic city at the heart of Germany, Frankfurt am Main embodies both modern dynamism and the country's rich history. Known for its skyscrapers, museums, and carefully reconstructed old town, Frankfurt was long before its current metropolis a major intellectual and artistic center. Its river landscapes, lively squares, and urban views have inspired many artists captivated by the light and the balance between nature and architecture.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Frankfurt, as depicted by Carl Theodor Reiffenstein, Jakob Fürchtegott Dielmann, Carl Morgenstern, Eduard von Steinle, and also Philipp Veit, one of the masters of the Nazarene movement. These artists captured the city's unique personality: refined, cultivated, and open to the world.
The light of the Main in your interior
Hanging a Frankfurt art print is like inviting the serenity and aesthetic rigor of German art into your space. The art prints of Frankfurt stand out for their balanced compositions and soft colors, oscillating between the gold of old facades and the silvery blue of the river.
These works perfectly complement a contemporary, classic, or industrial decor, adding a touch of culture and harmony. A view of the Main at sunset, a representation of Römerplatz, or a 19th-century life scene in the old town evoke the meeting of history and modernity, so characteristic of Frankfurt.
Artists have captured the soul of the city: a calm energy, discreet elegance, and a deep attachment to the river's light.
The great painters of Frankfurt
Carl Theodor Reiffenstein (1820–1893) was one of the city's major visual chroniclers. He accurately documented its alleys, monuments, and the transformation of Frankfurt in the 19th century.
Jakob Fürchtegott Dielmann (1809–1885), a member of the Kronberg painters' circle, depicted the surrounding landscapes with romantic and realistic sensitivity.
Carl Morgenstern (1811–1893) brought Frankfurt to life in his paintings, between Italian landscapes and views of his hometown, always bathed in soothing light.
Philipp Veit (1793–1877), a major figure of the Nazarene movement, participated in decorating the Städel Museum and left a lasting mark on the city's artistic history.
Finally, Eduard von Steinle (1810–1886) brought a spiritual and symbolist dimension to Frankfurt's religious and historical painting.
Together, they shaped the artistic identity of a city that is both classic, romantic, and resolutely modern.
