La peinture "Vue de Dresde au coucher du soleil" de Carl Gustav Carus offre une représentation romantique et mélancolique de la ville à la tombée du jour. Trois figures, placées au premier plan sur une colline, observent le paysage urbain à distance. Le ciel, captivant par ses riches teintes de rouge, orange et bleu, se reflète sur les contours architecturaux de la ville, dominés par des flèches et des tours élancées. Le chemin sinueux qui mène à ces spectateurs ajoute une dimension narrative, invitant le regard à suivre leur contemplation méditative de la scène. L'ensemble crée une atmosphère de tranquillité et de réflexion profonde, typique de l'esthétique romantique de Carus, qui cherche à évoquer l'harmonie entre l'homme et la nature.

Carl Gustav Carus was a German physiologist and painter born in Leipzig on January 3, 1789, who also played an important role in the Romantic era. He died on July 28, 1869. He was a physician, naturalist, scientist, psychologist, and landscape painter who had studied under Caspar David Friedrich; he was also a friend of the writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Two doctorates, in medicine and philosophy, were conferred upon him in 1811. In 1814, he was given the position of head of the maternity clinic and professor of obstetrics at Dresden's medical school. He theorized about art in his writings. He apprenticed with Dresden landscape painter Caspar David Friedrich from 1814 to 1817, during which time he taught himself oil painting. Later, he attended the Oeser drawing academy and took classes from Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld.

In Dresden, Carus passed away. He was laid to rest in Trinitatis Cemetery, located east of the city center. The grave can be found against the southern wall in the far south-western corner.
