St Michaels Chapel in KiedrichCarl Philipp Fohr

This watercolor (c. 1814) studies the late-Gothic Totenkapelle (chapel of the dead) dedicated to St Michael (1443). The compact building rises above an arched lower level, with traceried windows and a slender spire accentuated by blue and gold polychromy. Used to house exhumed bones from the cemetery, it survived Reformation and war with little damage. The work reflects early 19th‑century Romantic fascination with the Middle Ages and German legends.
