Caspar David Friedrich was an important painter during the nineteenth century in
Germany. He is classified as a German Romantic. The literary Romantics received his
paintings enthusiastically, because they believed he visualized their concepts. Th.is
Capstone examines German Romanticism, Friedrich, and Dresden Germany. An
explanation of German Romanticism and how it developed is conducted in the first
chapter. Friedrich's life, training, and artwork are surveyed .in the second chapter to
explain how he was drawn to Romanticism. The third chapter inspects his influences in
Dresden Germany, which was a Romantic center for landscape artists, writers and
philosophers. These main points are discussed in order for the reader to comprehend how
Friedrich developed his sublime and picturesque style.
