FRIEDRICH, Caspar David: Greifwald Harbour

🖼 Greifwald Harbour, 1818-20
Oil on canvas
90 × 70 cm
Berlin, Germany

Misty harbor waters dissolve into pale sky, where silhouetted ships and spires emerge like ghosts. Friedrich's Romantic vision transforms a Baltic port into a meditation on isolation, infinity, and humanity's smallness before nature's sublime vastness.
