Caspar David Friedrich was a German Romantic landscape painter.
Most of his paintings included figures standing before night skies, morning mists, Gothic ruins or barren trees.
Friedrich's works often contain symbolic, anti-classical meaning that seeks to convey a subjective and emotional response towards the world of nature. His work had its down fall in the 1920s and got back up during 1930s-40s when Nazism begun to form, during those times his work was used a patriotic/nationalistic aspect, it is not until 1970s that his work was recognised as romanticism.
