This hall is mainly devoted to German 19th-century art and the greater part of the display consists of canvases by the foremost painter of the Romantic era, Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840). One of them, On a Sailing Ship, was inspired by the artist’s honeymoon journey (1818). The Giant Mountains and Morning in the Mountains (no later than 1823) were painted on motifs that occur frequently in Friedrich’s oeuvre. Among the works by other artists are paintings by the man who designed the New Hermitage, Leo von Klenze (1781–1864) and the Dutchman Hendrik Voogd (1766–1839).
