FRIEDRICH, Caspar David: Rocky Reef on the Sea Shore

🖼 Rocky Reef on the Sea Shore, c. 1824
Oil on canvas

Jagged rocks emerge from misty waters, rendered in cool grays and browns with meticulous detail. Friedrich's sublime landscape captures Romantic yearning for nature's raw power and humanity's insignificance before the infinite.
