Original – Caspar David Friedrich landscapes show us a nature that has a metaphysical - transcendent character. His themes were often circulating around the questions of existence, destruction and creation.
Reason
Caspar David Friedrich romantic landscape painter, was one of the first artists to portray winter landscapes as austere, forbidding and dead. His winter scenes are solemn and still. According to the art historian Hermann Beenken, Friedrich painted winter scenes in which "no man has yet set his foot". Although based on direct observation, his landscapes did not reproduce nature but were painted to create a dramatic effect, using nature as a mirror of human emotions.
