Description of the painting by Caspar David Friedrich “Sunset”
Works depicting the landscapes of Friedrich are unclear, often full of uneasy symbolism, almost always mystical and realized by arguments of contemplation of the depths of the planet. The individual in his works is not an arbitrary hero.
The development of creations of general philosophical significance for Frederick is the path to lightness and freedom. A lot of the artist’s works devoted to landscapes, one of these was the painting “Sunset”.
Masterpiece “Sunset” – one of the most fascinating works of the artist. The essence of the picture is that it is correct to see the sunset in summer in the open places and steppes.
At sunset hours, many rays are reflected in the river. The sun slowly decreases to the horizon. It is no longer burning and blinding, as in the daytime. Just gently warms the remnants of the day’s rays, and forgiven burns, slowly hiding from the horizon. The picture “Sunset” is imbued with a romantic mood, evidenced by the image of a loving couple near the trees.
The painter uses inconspicuous colors of paints that should not obscure the glimpses of the sun. The feeling of the onset of a warm evening warms the soul, and invites you to rest. For Frederick, nature becomes a circle of spiritual experience, he is absorbed into romance, and cannot leave this direction. So subtle are his feelings. The firmament is depicted with a purple tone that expresses complete calmness of thoughts and sensations.
Creativity Friedrich is seen as an opportunity for the viewer to transfer to another space. The abundance of such colors and shades, confirm this theory. Undoubtedly, there were many artists of this era who tried to move, the world is real in second place. But Frederick was more proficient in imaging magical space, and pursued the idea of unity with the “soul of nature.”
