The writer compares and contrasts early 19th-century landscape paintings with rainbows by Caspar David Friedrich (Rügenlandschaft mit Regenbogen (1810), and Joseph Anton Koch (Heroische Landschaft mit Regenbogen (1805, 1815). Friedrich's view of Rügen Island corrects the ideal of the pastoral landscape, and the rainbow represents an unfulfilled yearning. Koch's Neoclassical Roman view filters the ideal pastoral landscape through the experiences of his homeland and age. The writer also considers the political contexts of these paintings.
