Caspar David Friedrich
Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) was a prominent German Romantic landscape painter. His evocative works often depicted serene figures amidst hauntingly beautiful natural settings, like misty mountains, desolate forests, and Gothic ruins. Friedrich's paintings, such as "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog" and "Monk by the Sea," are imbued with deep contemplation, spiritual introspection, and a sense of the sublime. He masterfully conveyed nature's overwhelming vastness juxtaposed against human frailty, making him a central figure in the Romantic movement of the 19th century.
