About the piece

Created circa 1835, this masterpiece by Caspar David Friedrich exemplifies the German Romantic movement's preoccupation with the sublime. The composition masterfully guides the eye from the rugged, rocky foreground through ethereal layers of valley mist toward the distant, crystalline summit of the Giant Mountains.
