Friedrich, Caspar David (1774–1840)
German Romantic landscape painter. He was active mainly in Dresden. He imbued his subjects – mountain scenes and moonlit seas – with poetic melancholy and was later admired by Symbolist painters.
The Cross in the Mountains (1808; Gemäldegalerie, Dresden) and Moonrise over the Sea (1822; Nationalgalerie, Berlin) are among his best-known works.
