Well known in his native Germany as a watercolorist, Karl Bodmer had a rich experience exploring in North America in the 19th century, accompanying German explorer Prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied as the official artist on an expedition which toured the Missouri River and its environs from 1832 until 1834. The expedition resulted in a plethora of highly detailed and accurate paintings, and 81 aquatints which focused on the towns, people, customs and Native Americans they encountered along the way. These works served to illustrate Prince Maximilian's book, entitled Maximilian Prince of Wied's Travels in the Interior of North America. The illustrated expedition notes were printed in German in 1839, and an English translation in 1843. After the expedition ended, Bodmer returned to Europe, and became aligned with the French landscaping group the Barbizon School. During this time he focused on animal and landscape motifs, and indulged his printmaking skills, producing a large body of engravings, drawings, and whimsical book illustrations. For his contributions in art Bodmer was Knighted by the French Legion of Honour in 1877.

About the artwork
Jörg Olberg draws here the sum of his artistic study of the Berlin ruins, which were still present in the cityscape well into the 80s. With his work "Agony" he creates an allegory of decay. Positioned in the landscape of ruins, a ruined house grows before the viewer, rising like the Tower of Babel into the sky, its roof and gable brightly illuminated by the sun. But already the roof shows mostly only the rafters, and as the gaze is drawn further down, the building visibly disintegrates, the beams protruding in all directions looking like splintered bones. Slowly but inexorably - in agony - the house will collapse in on itself and become nothing more than the burial mound of itself. At the same time, the small-scale stone composition and the plaster form a pattern-like ornamentation of decay.
The tension in the picture is fed by the counter-movement of growth and collapse, which is heightened by the dramatic formation of clouds. The swirls of clouds are reminiscent of a world landscape...
