Caspar David Friedrich
The Monk by the Sea
1809/10 (Berlin Nationalgalerie)
Oil on canvas, 110- 172 cm

Herr Friedrich painted this painting five times, characterizing romanticism as a movement exploring the human condition, the nature of loneliness, and nostalgia for the horizon of untouched landscape.
