![]() ![]() This is an artwork that is evaluated within the Romanticism movement. It will be better to talk about the Romanticism movement with this feature. When we look at this painting, you may think that the artist did not invite us because we saw a figure with his back, but in this picture feelings should be listened rather than logic.Īctually, the painting directly wants you to experience that wonderful moment, the experience, and to travel on the sea of fog. In the history of art, some paintings invite us inwards, others compel us to watch from a far. The artist visited the mountains, took sketches and painted them, and then completed the composition by placing the figure in the landscape in his studio. So where might this figure stand? Or how did the painter use the figure in this way? Did he do it right there? In fact, this is the Elbsandsteingebirge mountains in Germany. If we think that a soldier is depicted here, then we can think that this soldier is depicted heroically.īecause, as we mentioned at the beginning, the scene depicts a magnificent moment. In other words, it is a very strong possibility that it was a work that was made in memory of the deceased colonel and that exalted it. When we look at the date of this work, we realize that the colonel is already dead. The most important name of these voluntary special forces is Friedrich Gotthard von Bricken. The soldiers wearing this green coat are special forces called by the Prussian King to fight Napoleon. This coat gives us some information about his identity. How was this conclusion reached? Of course, from his green coat. Another thought is that Friedrich Gotthard von Bricken, one of the high-ranking colonels of the Saxon Infantry Union. First of all, of course, the figure is the artist himself. There are a few thoughts about who this figure is. Who is this man standing in an extremely dangerous and magnificent place with his dark green coat and a walking stick that adds verticality to the posture and red hair blowing in the wind? What would you feel when you first put ourselves in its place and stand on a rock above the sea of fog? What would you think? We think it must have been an incredible moment. Because of his stance, we guess that we’re not the only one who thinks he’s handsome, young and charismatic. In the center of the picture, we see a pretty charismatic stance and a man with his back turned towards us. The painting, which was finished in 1818, is on display in the Art Gallery of Hamburg, Germany and It is shown among the most important works of Romanticism Movement. ![]() Today we’re going to talk to you about impressive artwork by Caspar David Friedrich, known as ‘Journey Over the Clouds’ or ‘Wanderer on the Sea of Fog’. ![]()
