“I have lately received letters from Friedrich in Dresden. He is faring well; he paints misty landscapes, murky glaze. May fortune forever favor this worthy fellow, though at times, I cannot help but grow slightly vexed with the one-sidedness bestowed upon him, a singularity oft brought about by the complaisance of a certain manner and an indulgent audience!”
– Friedrich August Klinkowström to Philipp Otto Runge
