Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, 1818

Caspar David Friedrich

Oil on canvas · 94.8 x 74.8 cm

A lone figure on a peak surveying a sea of fog — Romanticism's defining image.

A lone figure stands on a crag, back turned, gazing over a sea of fog — Friedrich's 1818 image has become the very symbol of Romanticism and solitary wonder. We see what he sees, drawn into the sublime vastness beyond the peaks.
