Riesengebirge Landscape - Caspar David Friedrich

As a result of divine creation, nature is the meeting point between the human and the divine, according to Caspar David Friedrich. A church steeple is recognizable in the green plain, the only trace of human activity that seeks contact with God. The effect of depth in this painting is striking. Through the use of lighter and lighter colors, bathed in light, the viewer contemplates a grandiose landscape that seems infinite and unattainable, like the divine.
