Caspar David Friedrich is one of the masters of German Romanticism, known for his landscapes that symbolize spirituality and the quest for the infinite. His works, imbued with melancholy, stage nature as a reflection of the human soul, prone to contemplation and meditation. Although his art was neglected after his death, he is now recognized as a pioneer in the expression of the sublime in painting.
