Caspar David Friedrich German

Not on view

Antes de iniciar sua carreira como pintor em 1807, Caspar David Friedrich já havia criado alguns desenhos paisagísticos fascinantes de sua época. Esta folha, excepcional por seu tamanho, data de 1805–1806 e é baseada em esboços realizados na ilha de Rügen, no mar Báltico, não muito longe do local de nascimento do artista. A inóspita ilha inspirou Friedrich a criar algumas de suas melhores obras, combinando a observação penetrante do mundo natural com um romantismo onipresente. O personagem solitário que contempla o vasto panorama da natureza será um tema recorrente na sua obra.
