Received today from a random @postcrossing stranger. It's got to be an intentional nod to #CasparDavidFriedrich's Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog, right?

"Winter Landscape," Caspar David Friedrich, c.1811.

Friedrich (1774-1840) was THE great German Romantic artist, and now regarded as the most important European artist of his generation. He helped establish and codify the Romantic movement in art, rejecting Classical and Academic stuffiness, and instead creating intense emotional reactions to the natural world.

I love his work; he's full of dramatic vistas, craggy mountains, and moonlit mystery that stoke the imagination, which is exactly what he wanted. Gothic ruins, morning mists, and silhouetted figures looking out over the view are common in his works.

His work fell from favor in his lifetime, and he died forgotten and obscure. But, time was on his side; he was rediscovered in the 20th century and reassessed. Now he's the subject of exhibits and study like never before, along with renewed interest in Romanticism in general.

Here we've got a winter scene, with a roadside shrine under a pine tree, and a youth leaning on a boulder and praying, while a pair of crutches lie discarded in the snow. And in the mists in the background, the silhouette of a church or cathedral towers over all. One has a feeling of a miracle occurring, or about to occur.

A part of the #Frankenstein #fanfiction I am currently working on was inspired by this oil painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich - which is also one reason why I set my fanfic in Germany.
"The Abbey in the Oakwood" from 1809/10.

5 września 1774 roku urodził się Caspar David Friedrich – jeden z czołowych malarzy niemieckiego romantyzmu. Jego nastrojowe pejzaże, jak „Wędrowiec nad morzem mgły”, pełne są duchowości i symboliki przemijania. #romantyzm #malarstwo #CasparDavidFriedrich (fot. Wikipedia)

"The painter shall not just paint what he sees before himself, but also, what he sees inside himself.
If he doesn't see anything inside himself, then he shall cease to paint what he sees before him."

Caspar David Friedrich (my translation)

"Mountains in the Rising Fog," Caspar David Friedrich, c. 1835.

Friedrich (1774-1840) seems perfect for spooky season; his Romantic landscapes, once nearly forgotten, have been rediscovered by a new generation of Romantics....although it was a bumpy ride, with his work being briefly co-opted by the Nazi party, then dismissed in the face of growing modernism, and then being exploited by Disney and horror-movie makers. In the 1970s he began to be taken seriously again and now is the subject of many a museum exhibit.

The view is of the Rosenberg, in Bohemian Switzerland. Makes the imagination go wild, eh? Dark castles, swordfights, mad scientists, curses, witches...whatever your mind can dream up...

"Landscape with Mountain Lake, Morning," Caspar David Friedrich, c. 1823-35.

Happy birthday to Caspar David Friedrich, born this day in 1774!

He was THE great Romantic artist, often doing allegorical paintings of human figures contemplating some natural scene that dwarfs them...or maybe Gothic ruins (because, after all, Gothicism is an outgrowth of Romanticism).

Here he's got a small human figure pausing by the side of a lake in a dramatic mountain landscape. If you squint a little, you can make out a large building on the other side of the lake, perhaps a palace of some sort (just over the man's head) but it's overwhelmed in size and majesty by the lake and the mountains. This is Friedrich's message...that Nature will always be bigger than Man.

His tragedy was that he outlived his fame; his style went out of fashion and when he died in 1840, he was lonely and half-forgotten. But in modern times he's been rediscovered and his art revived...especially as it's now in public domain and has been used as cover art for various editions of Gothic novels and the like. His dramatic views help set the tone.

From a private collection.
