FRIEDRICH, Caspar David: Winter Landscape

🖼 Winter Landscape, 1811
Oil on canvas
32 × 45 cm
London, United Kingdom

Skeletal trees pierce a frozen, misty landscape where a solitary figure kneels in prayer before a crucifix. Friedrich's Romantic vision transforms winter's desolation into spiritual transcendence, establishing landscape as a vehicle for inner emotion and faith.
