Caspar David Friedrich



Wanderer Above the Mist




Monk by the Sea





Polar Sea

"The artist should paint not only what he sees before him, but also what he sees within him. If, however, he sees nothing within him, then he should also refrain from painting that which he sees before him. Otherwise, his pictures will be like those folding screens behind which one expects to find only the sick or the dead."

Caspar David Friedrich

Taken away

"...dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to slaughter."
