About the piece
Painted in 1819, this evocative work by German Romantic master Caspar David Friedrich depicts the port of Greifswald. The composition is defined by the intricate rigging of sailing ships silhouetted against a soft, atmospheric sky, blending maritime precision with a contemplative, spiritual mood characteristic of the artist's finest landscapes.
