About the Painting

The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, completed around 1818, is a powerful depiction of a lone figure standing atop a rocky outcropping, gazing out over a vast sea of fog. The painting is a testament to Friedrich's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his deep appreciation for the natural world.

The Artist

Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) was a German Romantic painter known for his deeply emotional and symbolic works. His paintings often featured landscapes and natural scenes, imbued with a sense of mystery and wonder. 'The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog' is one of his most famous and enduring works.

The Romanticism Art Movement

Romanticism was an art movement that originated in the late 18th century, as a reaction against the Neoclassical style that dominated European art at the time. Romantic artists sought to express emotions, imagination, and individuality through their work. Friedrich's 'The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog' is a prime example of this movement, with its powerful emotional resonance and evocation of the natural world.
