Galerie Mont The Watzmann – Caspar David Friedrich^ Friedrich

In this romantic painting, Caspar David Friedrich contrasts the human condition, symbolized by dark colors and a rugged terrain, with the divine summits, materialized by light colors and a majestic mountain. Man, confined to the dreary baseness of the earth, dreams of light, grandeur, purity and nobility, in the image of these snowy peaks. The cloudless sky evokes a world of quietude and peace, inaccessible although coveted by the common man.
