The Kunsthaus Zürich presents Switzerland’s first museum exhibition devoted to the work of Adrian Zingg (1734-1816), one of the most important representatives of landscape between the European Enlightenment and Pre-Romanticism in Dresden. He explored the countryside around Dresden and produced numerous views of what has since become known as the Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland.
Zingg popularized the region as a destination for international artistic and scholarly tourism and established a type that achieved canonical significance in landscape painting through the works of Caspar David Friedrich and Ludwig Richter.
His large-format sepia plates influenced an entire generation of artists while his choice of motifs and interpretation of landscape left its mark on souvenir production in the early days of tourism.
Date: until August 12.
Location: Kunsthaus Zürich, Heimplatz 1, CH-8001 Zurich. Switzerland
