About the piece
Painted between 1824 and 1825, Caspar David Friedrich's 'The Watzmann' is a seminal work of German Romanticism. The composition leads the eye from the shadowed, tactile rocks of the foreground up through the verdant middle ground to the ethereal, sunlit glaciers of the summit, embodying the artist's fascination with the spiritual power of nature.
