Caspar David Friedrich

Caspar David Friedrich (1774 – 1840) was a German Romantic landscape painter. Member of the Romantic Movement changed in Germany the face of landscape paintings with his intense and emotional focus on nature. He is considered the most important German artist of his generation. Friedrich often painted mountains surrounded in a mist or haze, a favorite scene among romantic landscape artists. His art is allegorical with a careful attention to the details of an almost Neoclassical landscape technique.[1]
