About the piece
Carl Gustav Carus, a key figure in German Romanticism, masterfully creates a sense of awe in this 1822 work. The painting depicts two eagles in a high mountain environment, where the sharp textures of the rock contrast with the ethereal, soft mists that veil the surrounding Alpine summits.
