Friedrich’s statement, “The painter should paint not only what he has in front of him, but also what he sees inside himself,” demonstrates the connection between inspiration and trauma. He always wore a beard to cover the wound from his attempt to cut himself. It is said that this incident stayed with Friedrich for life and due to his depression, he attempted suicide in Dresden. Caspar fell, and his brother saved his life. When he was young, he and his brother were skating on the frozen Baltic Sea when the ice cracked. His personal history may also account for the ominous tension between beauty and terror in his depiction of nature, which was influenced by the landscapes of his native Germany. Why did Friedrich paint the Wanderer above the sea of fog?įriedrich’s paintings are dominated by the sublime power of nature. Caspar David Friedrich often depicted his figures in this manner, which he referred to as a “compositional strategy/device.” The man stands with his back to the audience and the German word for “figure from the back” is Rückenfigur, which refers to this unique method. As a result, it may not accurately depict the mountain ranges and their locations. Friedrich sketched them out in the field, but he rearranged them in the same way he usually does in the studio for the painting. The painting is made up of various elements from the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony and Bohemia. The wanderer is looking out over a landscape that is covered in a thick sea of fog, his hair blowing in the wind. He is wearing a dark green overcoat and holding a walking stick in his right hand. A man stands with his back to the viewer on a rocky precipice in the foreground. What attracts viewers is the visual appeal of the painting.
This week I have been off in my beach house but chose to hurt my hands and arms on handy man work instead of guitar playing.Also Read | Behind the Art: Why is Vincent van Gogh’s Le café de Nuit (The Night Café) so significant? I had decided to not go into this challenge because I can't seem to learn the pieces in3-4 weeks, but the challenge inspires me to find new pieces as well as take old stuff up. The Coste I have played 2 years ago, but the Scherzo part killed me, although I am going to resurrect with it thanks to this challenge, and I just ran through it a couple of times, I have played it better earlier These two are both composed close to 1830 but are so different in style.

#Wanderer over a sea of fog archive
Two from the archive that have a special romantic meaning for meġ. I have posted some pieces that may be categorized under these definitions. Musically I think there should be variations in dynamics, tempo, rubato, flashy licks ( if such exist in classical music) or lines that evoke emotions It may also be music that evokes certain feelings emotions or passion in you. It may be a definition dependent on time early mid 19 century as for paintings etcįor me then nothing defines romantic music more than Chopin.įor guitar music Tarrega and to some extent transcriptions of Albeniz and contemporaries defines it for me - although they are 50 year late painters had moved to impressionism
