About the piece
Painted by Moritz von Schwind in 1845, this Romantic-era work captures the legendary dream of Erwin von Steinbach, the architect of the Strasbourg Cathedral. The composition features an ethereal guide leading the visionary through a moonlit architectural space, characterized by rich earth tones and a sense of spiritual mystery that perfectly exemplifies 19th-century German Romanticism.
