About the piece
Painted in 1835, this masterwork by Caspar David Friedrich exemplifies the German Romantic fascination with the sublime power of nature. The composition centers on the interplay between the dark, rugged foreground and the luminous sunburst breaking through a dense, atmospheric sky over the Giant Mountains.
