(click to enlarge)
Caspar David Friedrich
(German, 1774-1940)
Winter Landscape with Church, 1811
Oil on canvas
The figure in this painting is probably Friedrich himself. The traveler has abandoned his crutch and is praying before a crucifix before resuming his journey onwards to the Gothic cathedral in the distance.
