 The
German romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich,
b. Sept. 5, 1774, d. May 7, 1840, was one of the greatest
exponents in European art of the symbolic landscape. He
studied at the Academy in Copenhagen (1794-98), and
subsequently settled in Dresden, often traveling to other
parts of Germany. Friedrich's landscapes are based entirely on
those of northern Germany and are beautiful renderings of
trees, hills, harbors, morning mists, and other light effects
based on a close observation of nature.

Friedrich was born on September 5, 1774, in Greifswald and
studied at the Copenhagen Academy. In 1798 he settled in
Dresden, where he became a member of an artistic and literary
circle imbued with the ideals of the romantic movement. His
early drawings—precisely outlined in pencil or sepia—explored
motifs recurrent throughout his work: rocky beaches, flat,
barren plains, infinite mountain ranges, and trees reaching
toward the sky. Later, his work began to reflect more of his
emotional response to natural scenery...
