FRIEDRICH, Caspar David: The Summer

🖼 The Summer, 1807
Oil on canvas
71 × 104 cm
Munich, Germany

Golden light bathes a solitary figure gazing across misty mountains and valleys in soft, atmospheric brushwork. Friedrich's Romantic masterpiece epitomizes the sublime—nature's vastness evoking spiritual transcendence and introspective solitude central to early 19th-century German idealism.
