Ruegen - Rocks of Romance
FROM THE SERIES ROCKS OF ROMANCE
Copy of the painting Chalk Cliffs by Caspar David Friedrich, at the Koenigstuhl, Grosse Stubbenkammer, inside the Jasmund National Park UNESCO natural heritage on the island of Ruegen, in Mecklemburg-Pomerania, Germany.
The white rocks of Rügen are the inflated icon and aesthetic sacralization of a living myth. This can be connected to the famous painting Chalk Cliffs by Caspar David Friedrich, which is a symbol of the indefinite longing of German romanticism. In times of the modern search for deep meaning, this myth is also propagated by the tourist board - despite constant changes in the landscape due to human influences and erosion.
