Dark Clouds above Bamberg (Reproduction)

This image of Bamberg, painted by Friedrich Karl Rupprecht (1779-1831), one of the founding members of Bamberg's art society, is considered to be one of the most beautiful brochures in Germany.
The dark clouds above the Domberg, which embodies the spiritual center, as well as the bright light above the city could both be interpreted as an allusion to the end of the bishopric and the new spirit of the Enlightenment.
Rupprecht died in 1831 during the restoration of the Bamberg Cathedral.
