1774 -1840 · German romanticism
Solitary travelers, ruins, seas and mountains transform the landscape into an inner experience facing time, faith and infinity.
Born in Greifswald in 1774, Caspar David Friedrich studied at the Copenhagen Academy before settling in Dresden in 1798. He began with drawing and sepia, then constructed his oil paintings from precise studies of rocks, trees and coasts. His figures seen from behind invite the viewer to enter landscapes which do not copy nature but assemble observed motifs to question existence. Famous around 1810, forgotten at the end of the century, it was permanently rediscovered in the 20th century. The selection "Caspar David Friedrich" notably compares The Traveler Above the Sea of Clouds and The Monk by the Sea. His reading favors figures.
Friedrich not only paints what is before the eyes: he organizes nature to make visible an experience of infinity.
