Caspar David Friedrich is the greatest German romantic painter and one of the most original landscape painters in the history of the genre. He pursued with single-mindedness his personal insight into the spiritual sugnificance of the landscape, often breaking new ground with his choice of subjects. Though seldom using obvious religious imagery, his landscapes unfailingly convey a sense of haunting spirituality.

Quoted from bookmark printed by the Pomegranite Bookmarks.

Caspar David Friedrick's His figures are usually extraneous to the landscape--like the man in The Wanderer Above the Mists--neither of this world or of ours, standing on the edge of reality. Motionless, isolated, they seem to be both within and yet somehow outside nature, at once at home in it and estranged--symbols of ambiguity and alienation.

Oddly enough, compared to Honour and Freming, the image is reversed, the dimensions are different and the title and date abbreviated. Perhaps these are compromises for the format...
