Vista de la costa oriental de la isla de Rügen con pastor

1805–6
Not on view
Antes de iniciar su carrera de pintor en 1807, Caspar David Friedrich ya había creado algunos de los dibujos paisajísticos más fascinantes de su época. Esta hoja, excepcional por su tamaño, data de 1805–1806 y se basa en bocetos realizados en la isla de Rügen, en el mar Báltico, no lejos del lugar de nacimiento del artista. La inhóspita isla inspiró a Friedrich algunas de sus mejores obras, en las que combinó la observación penetrante del mundo natural con un romanticismo omnipresente. El personaje solitario que contempla el vasto panorama de la naturaleza será un tema recurrente en su obra.
