Eine Zyklopenmauer bei Civitella, dem heutigen Bellegra 1856

"Eine Zyklopenmauer bei Civitella, dem heutigen Bellegra" (1856) by Carl Morgenstern depicts a landscape scene with a crumbling stone wall in the foreground. The wall, referred to as a "Cyclopean wall" in the title, evokes a sense of ancient history and grandeur. The mountains in the background provide a dramatic backdrop, while the cloudy sky adds a touch of mystery. This romantic landscape painting, now housed at the Städel Museum, is a testament to Morgenstern's fascination with the beauty of nature and his keen eye for capturing atmospheric effects.
