Day 1821

Caspar David Friedrich's "Day" (1821) is a Romantic landscape painting that depicts a misty, ethereal scene. The painting, now housed in the Lower Saxony State Museum, Hanover, Germany, is a prime example of Friedrich's signature style, characterized by its focus on nature and the sublime. The lone figure in the foreground is a common motif in Friedrich's work, symbolizing human isolation and contemplation in the face of the vast and powerful forces of nature. The atmospheric depiction of the landscape, with its hazy light and muted colors, evokes a sense of mystery and tranquility.
