About this artwork

Painted in 1827, this work is known as Seapiece by Moonlight. It is an oil painting on canvas and belongs to the Romantic movement, in the genre of landscape painting. Caspar David Friedrich was a German Romantic painter whose work often conveys a personal, emotional response to the natural world, and night skies feature in many of his pictures. Here the title points us to the sea under moonlight, a subject that suits his interest in mood and atmosphere. The painting is held today at the Museum der bildenden Künste.

About Caspar David Friedrich

Caspar David Friedrich was a German Romantic landscape painter, widely regarded as the most important German artist of his generation. His work is often symbolic and turns away from classical ideals, expressing a personal, emotional response to nature. He frequently painted contemplative figures set against night skies, morning mists, bare trees or Gothic ruins.
