Unrelentlessy dark and dreary, Winterreise (Winter Journey) is nonethelessone of Schubert’s most famous and acclaimed song cycles. Taking us on ajourney through the snow-covered landscapes of 19th century Germany, thecomposer explores a man’s decaying relationship with the world and thepeople around him through haunting melodies. My artwork is inspired by thecycle as a whole but focuses more particularly on one song, Die Krähe (TheCrow), showcasing this dark omen looming over the desperate traveler.
