The German
romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, b. Sept. 5, 1774, d.
May 7, 1840, was one of the greatest exponents in European art of the symbolic
landscape.
He studied
at the Academy in Copenhagen (1794-98), and subsequently settled in Dresden,
often traveling to other parts of Germany. Friedrich's landscapes are based
entirely on those of northern Germany and are beautiful renderings of trees,
hills, harbors, morning mists, and other light effects based on a close
observation of nature.
Some of
Friedrich's best-known paintings are expressions of a religious mysticism. In
1808 he exhibited one of his most controversial paintings, The Cross in the
Mountains (Gemaldegalerie, Dresden), in which--for the first time in Christian
art--an altarpiece was conceived in terms of a pure landscape. The cross, viewed
obliquely from behind, is an insignificant element in the composition. More
important are the dominant rays of the evening sun, which the artist said
depicted the setting of the old, pre-Christian world. The mountain symbolizes
an immovable faith, while the fir trees are an allegory of hope. Friedrich
painted several other important compositions in which crosses dominate a
landscape.
Even some
of Friedrich's apparently nonsymbolic paintings contain inner meanings, clues
to which are provided either by the artist's writings or those of his literary
friends. For example, a landscape showing a ruined abbey in the snow, Abbey
with Oak Trees (1810; Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin), can be appreciated on
one level as a bleak, winter scene, but the painter also intended the
composition to represent both the church shaken by the Reformation and the
transitoriness of earthly things.
