About the piece
Painted circa 1835, this oil on canvas by German Romantic master Caspar David Friedrich is a profound study of light and atmosphere. The work captures a path of moonlight reflecting across the sea and onto a rugged, rocky shore, framed by the dramatic presence of dark, heavy clouds and distant silhouetted sails.
