Detlef Rahn

Rahn's atmospheric paintings are characterized by absolute perfection and an impressive attention to detail. He manages to reproduce with the same perfection the light of the dawning day in Tuscany as the last rays of sun on Sylt. The artist belongs to those painters who confirm their success again and again with high artistic quality. Alexander von Humboldt once said, "Every law of nature that reveals itself to the observer suggests a higher, as yet unrecognized one." However, unlike the classical painting of the subject, such as "The Wanderer over the Sea of Fog" by Caspar David Friedrich, Detlef Rahn's works do not express a melancholy mood. They are now modern landscape paintings that trigger in the viewer the desire to be there.
