Northern Landscape, Spring

Caspar David Friedrich, c. 1825

Two minuscule people stand in the center of an expansive, rugged landscape dusted with snow in this horizontal painting. Snow nestles in among the tawny-brown ridges that roll like waves back to the horizon, which comes almost halfway up the composition. The people are painted with a few dabs of fawn brown, and they stand on a spit of land to our right of center. Mountainous ridges along the horizon are shaded in slate blue under a steely-blue sky.
