Galerie Mont View of a harbor – Caspar David Friedrich^ Friedrich

In View of a Port, Friedrich depicts a harbour scene bathed in twilight. The sea holds ships at anchor, while a dinghy with several crew members is in the foreground. The atmosphere is both peaceful and melodramatic, with a brilliantly coloured sunset in the background.

Representative of Romanticism, this painting by Friedrich is notable for its ability to evoke deep feelings through a simple landscape. Every element, from the reflection of light on the water to the masts of the ships, tells a story of passage, contemplation and interaction with nature. The sea, vast and untamed, confronts the observer with the immensity of existence.
