Friedrich, Caspar David
Sea of Ice
What sets Friedrich paintings apart is his transformation of the landscape into symbolic meanings, often religious. His painting scenes are often empty of people, mysterious ravines, threatening cliffs, and a terrifying sea of ice. In these paintings, nature emerges not as some benign environment for mankind, but as a frightening threat to man's stability.
