Description of the painting by Caspar Friedrich “Morning”
Frederick is a German artist, one of the main representatives of romanticism. Like all other painters who gave preference to this genre, he put the personality at the forefront as something that could change the world, if not with his deeds, then with perception. As something intrinsic and priceless, as something that gives meaning to everything.
