Friedrich, Caspar David Biography

German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich was one of the greatest exponents in European art of the symbolic landscape. He studied at the Academy in Copenhagen (1794-98), and subsequently settled in Dresden, often traveling to other parts of Germany. Friedrich's landscapes are based entirely on those of northern Germany and are beautiful renderings of trees, hills, harbors, morning mists, and other light effects based on a close observation of nature.
