Caspar David Friedrich - The Cross in the Mountains

Caspar David Friedrich (5 septembrie 1774 – 7 mai 1840), pictor german, cel mai important pictor romantic german si unul dintre geniile cele mai originale din istoria picturii peisagiste. Caspar David Friedrich s-a nascut in Greifswald, Hither Pomerania. Relevante ca fundal al operei sale sunt credinta stricta luterana a tatalui sau si familiaritatea sa timpurie cu moartea: mama sa a murit cand avea sapte ani, sora sa a murit de febra tifoida, iar fratele sau s-a inecat intrun lac inghetat pe  cand incerca sa-l salveze pe  Friedrich sub picioarele caruia s-a crapat gheata, dupa cum se spune.

 

Caspar David Friedrich - Wanderer above the Sea of Fog

In 1790 a inceput sa studieze arta cu Johann Gottfried Quistorp la Universitatea  Greifswald si literatura si estetica cu profesorul suedez  Thomas Thorild. In 1794 a intrat la prestigioasa Academie din Copenhaga, iar in 1798 s-a stabilit in  Dresda. deseori picta in tus de India, acuarele si sepia. Nu se cunoaste precis cand s-a apucat de pictura in ulei, dar cu siguranta avea peste 30 de ani. Subiectele sale preferate au fost peisajele. In special peisaje din nordul Germaniei, picturi de paduri, dealuri, porturi, dimineti cetoase si alte efecte de lumina bazate pe o observatie atenta a naturii. In 1808, intro perioada cand Friedrich crestea in popularitate, el a expus una dintre cele mai controversate picturi, The Cross in the Mountains (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden). Pentru prima data in arta crestina, un peisaj pur a fost cadrul unui altar. Crucea se inalta foarte sus in the compositie, dar e vazuta oblic si la distanta. Friedrich spunea ca razele soarelui la apus  descriau formarea lumii pre-crestine. Muntele simboliza credinta de nezdruncinat, in timp ce brazii reprezentau speranta. El a fost apropiat de Philipp Otto Runge, alt pictor german notabil din perioad romantica si a castigat admiratia poetului Goethe.
