Die Kunst wendet sich zur Religion 1818

"Die Kunst wendet sich zur Religion" (Art Turns to Religion) is a pencil drawing created by Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein in 1818. The artwork depicts a scene with a central image of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. Two figures in the foreground kneel and gesture toward the Madonna and Child, while additional figures stand in the background. The artwork is framed by an elaborate design of foliage and angels, a testament to the intertwining of art and faith in Vogelstein's work. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies the German Romantic fascination with religious themes and the power of art.
