This was one of Caspar David Friedrich’s earliest and most controversial paintings. He made the frame himself, and it is an important part of the masterpiece. The whole work was designed to serve as the centerpiece of an altar and it’s also known as the Tetschen Altar. It was the first time in art history that a Christian altarpiece presented only ...
The Wandererpresents a metaphor for the unknown future. It is a great monument to human individuality. Some believe that the wanderer is a self-portrait of Friedrich. Although he painted this scene in his studio, it was sketched at the place of inspiration, Elbsandsteingebirge, in Saxony and Bohemia.
With its striking white chalk cliffs, Rügen was – and still is – a popular North German tourist destination. The painting was executed during a brief period of hope – both in Friedrich’s personal life and in the political life of the German nation. In the summer of 1818, Friedrich was on his honeymoon: the woman in the red dress is almost certainly...
Clouds have come up and the round shape of the full moonis half hidden behind the banks of a cloud at the horizon. This means that the moonlight does not fall evenly but seems to be breaking out of a gateway in the clouds, creating a magical play of light. Three people sit on rounded rocks near the shore, two sailing ships pursue a ghostly course a...
The young woman standing at the window is Caroline, the painter’s wife. She is looking out across the River Elbe to the other side. The bare interior of the studio seems lifeless and unlived. In this work, Friedrich has adopted a favorite theme of Romanticism, where the framework of a window links proximity and distance and evokes a longing for the...
This is the most radical composition of all of Friedrich’s works. He didn’t bother to create an illusion of depth – which had been a traditional aspect of landscape painting. The broad expanses of sea and sky emphasize the meager figure of the monk, standing before the vastness of nature and the presence of God.
In the foreground, a crippled man has abandoned his crutches and sits against a rock with his hands raised in prayer before a crucifix. The rocks and evergreen trees may be interpreted as symbols of faith. Meanwhile, the visionary Gothic cathedral emerging from the mist evokes the promise of life after death.
A Walk at Duskis among a small group of works Friedrich completed before suffering a debilitating stroke in 1835. The painting embodies both the melancholy he experienced during this period as well as the consolation he found in the Christian faith.
A procession of monks, some of whom bear a coffin, heads toward the gate of a ruined Gothic church in the center of the painting. Only two candles light their way. A newly dug grave yawns out of the snow in the foreground, near which several crosses can be faintly discerned. The lower third of the picture lies in darkness – only the highest part of...
The figures here have been identified as Friedrich and his friend and disciple August Heinrich. This is the third version of one of Friedrich’s most famous compositions, only the first of which was painted during Heinrich’s lifetime; Friedrich painted the first version in 1819 (now at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden), and the second soon after...
Two Men Contemplating the Moon. Caspar David Friedrich German. ca. 1825–30. On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 807. These two figures are seen from behind so that the viewer may participate in their communion with nature.
Caspar David Friedrich (5 September 1774 – 7 May 1840) was a German Romantic landscape painter, generally considered the most important German artist of his generation. He is best known for his allegorical landscapes, which typically feature contemplative figures silhouetted against night skies, morning mists, barren trees or Gothic ruins.
