The city of Dresden has been a major center of German art since the 1700s. This exhibition, part of the Getty's ongoing partnership with the Dresden State Museums, was curated in collaboration with the Galerie Neue Meister. It explores several recurring themes found throughout German art from 1800 to the present: Romanticism and the sublime, the relationship between German art and that produced elsewhere in Europe, the connection between history and art in Germany, and the role of Dresden in the development of German art.

The exhibition is organized in two parts. One part compares the work of the two best-known artists associated with Dresden — Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) and Gerhard Richter (born 1932). The other part presents 13 works from the Galerie Neue Meister collection interspersed throughout the Getty's paintings galleries, which span the period between Friedrich and Richter.
