The Abbey in the Oakwood

Once again I am struck by the depth of Roger's artistic experience. The background for the 'Seven Sermons' presentation is 'The Abbey in the Oakwood', by Caspar David Friedrich, about 1810. I present the original, and Roger's macpaintified version for comparison.

The Khan academy has a nice presentation about this painting:

Where they note that Friedrich associated it with another painting, 'The Monk by the Sea', which I have attached here. How are they associated? Is the monk here the one being buried in 'Oakwood'? Or is he the father abbot? 

Reviewers note that Friedrich's oeuvre can be seen as being extended by Whistler (and even Rothko!). Friedrich lost some prestige from being taken up by the fascists as an exemplar of arts in the 1930's, but he came back into esteem in the 1970's - possibly this resurgence brought him to Roger's attention. I have not been able to find out if these paintings were exhibited in the Maryland area then.

A wonderful documentation of preservation efforts is given here:

The restoration photos show X-ray and infrared shots that let you see more of the human details - the monks and the casket, the candles, the crosses and the moon that are completely obscured in Roger's rendition, and somewhat obscured in Friedrich's. Would the gallery docents even let you get close enough to see the detail?

The anagram was made up by Carl Jung for his gnostic work 'The Seven Sermons to the Dead', written in 1916. The seven sermons were only part of a larger work, the 'Red Book', that was only publicly published in 2009. As you can see, this is a BIG production (NOT me in the hat):

Filled with amazing art, with a price to match! - If anybody wants to buy it for my birthday, Roger's date will work fine with me.

At about this time, internet sites started posting that the anagram had been solved, so I just assumed that the solution was included with the publication of this book. The proposed solution is "Carl Gustav Iung, in Kusnacht, year 1916" (in Latin). But when you get over the Latin part and look at the letter combinations, it goes all wrong:

The Z's really get in the way of solving this - so, there, internet! Game STILL on!
