Oak Tree in the Snow 1828

Caspar David Friedrich's "Oak Tree in the Snow," painted in 1828, is a prime example of Romanticism in art. The painting depicts a solitary oak tree standing in a snowy landscape, its bare branches reaching towards the sky. This melancholic scene, emphasizing nature's power and resilience, was common in Friedrich's work, which often explored themes of solitude and the sublime. The painting, now located in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, Germany, remains a powerful and evocative testament to Friedrich's artistic vision.
