	Johann Friedrich Overbeck - Publications
		Johann Friedrich Overbeck (4 July 1789 – 1869), was a German painter and member of the Nazarene movement.
		Overbeck wrote to a friend that he had fallen among a vulgar set, that every noble thought was suppressed within the academy and that losing all faith in humanity he turned inwardly on himself.
		Overbeck belongs to eclectic schools, and yet was creative; like his art it is borne down with emotion and possessed by a somewhat morbid subjectivity.

	Style Romanticism
		Its greatest exponent, and the greatest German Romantic painter, was Caspar David Friedrich, whose meditative landscapes, painted in a lucid and meticulous style, hover between a subtle mystical feeling and a sense of melancholy, solitude, and estrangement.
		His Romantic pessimism is most directly expressed in Polar Sea (1824); the remains of a wrecked ship are barely visible beneath a pyramid of ice slabs that seems a monument to the triumph of nature over human aspiration.
		Another school of German Romantic painting was formed by the Nazarenes, a group of artists who attempted to recover the style and spirit of medieval religious art; its leading figure was Johann Friedrich Overbeck.
