1808 -1840 · Cross, ruins and romantic landscape
Friedrich places crosses, chapels and ruins in the heart of the landscape to make nature a space for meditation on faith, death and hope.
Caspar David Friedrich profoundly renews religious painting by moving the sacred in the landscape. In the Cross in the Mountains, known as the Tetschen Altarpiece, a crucifix stands among the fir trees facing a light coming from the horizon. Chapels in the mist, cemeteries, ruins of churches and abbeys invaded by vegetation evoke the fragility of human institutions but also the permanence of a spiritual quest. The figures are rare and often seen from behind, inviting the viewer to share their contemplation. Sky, mountain, tree and architecture thus become signs without losing their sensitive reality. The selection "Cross and spirituality at Caspar David Friedrich notably compares Cross in the Mountains and Ruins at Dusk. His reading favors the material.
In Friedrich, the cross is not placed before nature: it belongs to the same horizon of silence, loss and hope.
