# Clemens Brentano [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TIECK, Christian Friedrich]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Gypsum, height 58 cm ## Commentary Tieck was a close associate of Rauch in Berlin. In 1818 they set up a studio together and collaborated on a number of works. Tieck was also an excellent portraitist. Clemens Brentano \(1778-1842\) is one the most important representatives of German Romanticism, a literary movement which originated in Jena at the end of the 1790s, dissociating itself on the one hand from the literary-political programme of the so-called Berlin Late-Enlightenment \(Friedrich Nicolai\) and, on the other hand, from the aesthetic objectives of Weimar Classicism \(Friedrich Schiller, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe\). ## Related artworks - [Tomb of Gerhard von Scharnhorst]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
