  3. "Gothic Windows in the Ruins of the Monastery at Oybin," Carl Gustav Carus, c. 1828.

    German-born Carus (1789-1869) wasn't just an artist...he was also a doctor, naturalist, scientist, and psychologist, and he studied landscape painting under the great Romantic Caspar David Friedrich, whose influence can be seen here.

    He was personal physician to King Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, and traveled with him to meet Queen Victoria. As a naturalist, he originated the notion of vertebrates vs. invertebrates, gently revolutionizing biology. He was also a prolific author, writing books on zoology, nature, medicine, psychology, travel, and art theory.

    Here we have a scene from inside a ruined monastery, built in 1369 and abandoned in 1546, and which became a favorite haunt of the Romantics in the 1820s. Despite the Gothic material, the feeling it gives is almost positive and hopeful, looking through the ruins to a new day.

    From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
