The walk to the Städel and my bad photo of the Museum itself :
Germany has always been the Capital of Gothic - and did I love Schwaze Romantik? Well no. There were too many eerie paintings of graveyards, paintings of the dead, witches chopping up babies, ghosts and scenes of evil devils for me. But I did loved the mix of Goya, B & W early film, William Blake, Füssli, von Max, and many others. It was an eye-opener and not a 'safe' exhibition. I doubted that many UK galleries would attempt such a scary, non-boxoffice-safe exhibition - Well Done to Städel!
As well as the Black Romantic exhibition, I enjoyed many of the other paintings on display, especially the Expressionists (like Kirchner or Otto Dix).
