Solitary Tree 1822

Caspar David Friedrich's "Solitary Tree" (1822) is a captivating example of Romanticism in painting. The solitary tree, standing in the foreground, is a symbol of solitude and contemplation. The surrounding landscape, with its distant mountains and a hazy sky, creates a sense of vastness and mystery. Friedrich, known for his evocative depictions of nature, invites viewers to contemplate the sublime and the relationship between humanity and the natural world. This oil painting is on display at the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany.
