by David Martín Castán
Considered to be the most important German artist of his time, Caspar David Friedrich (1774 to 1840) helped to upgrade landscape painting to a major genre by injecting romantic feeling into his paintings.

He is quoted as saying:
“Close your bodily eye, so that you may see your picture first with the spiritual eye. Then bring to the light of day that which you have seen in the darkness so that it may react upon others from the outside inwards. A picture must not be invented but felt.”

He looked past the beautiful view depicted classically and tried to portray an element of sublimity through the spiritual appreciation of nature, transforming landscapes into powerful narratives rather than mere depictions of the physical picture.
This was Friedrich’s key innovation.

One can only imagine what beauty could have been captured if he were a photographer in today’s world. Let’s see how his photos may have turned out…

'Lone Tree Not Alone' by Stanley Loong  

'And te moon stoood still for the night' by Charlaine Gerber  

'Place of silence' by Ingo Dumreicher
Friedrich’s first major work, Cross in the Mountains (now known as Tetschen Altar), completed in 1808, and commissioned as an altarpiece, did not go down well with many, as it depicted a distant view of Christ on a cross at the top of a mountain, surrounded by nature. This was the first time that the Crucifixion had been depicted as a landscape.

Here is a photo in a similar vein:

'Sunrise at Sella pass (Dolomites)' by Alessandro Traverso
In later work he used the device of Ruckenfigur – a person seen from behind contemplating the view, giving the impression that the human is diminished in the face of the expansiveness of nature, and forcing the viewer to draw his own conclusions as to the thoughts of the figure in the painting.

These photos use the same device:

'A Dangerous Journey' by Kok Tien Sang   n/t by Veselin Atanasov  

'Above the Clouds' by Karol Nienartowicz  

'Alone' by catalin alexandru  

'Man and Mountain' by Jozef Sádecký  

'Reynisfjara' by Marcus Holmqvist  

'Way to heaven' by Mikel Martinez de Osaba  

'My fog training' by Fabio Palmerini  

n/t by Mountain Cloud  

'Discovering the untouched land'  by Peter Svoboda, MQEP  

'Solitude is the soul's bliss, embrace it' by Yvette Depaepe  

'The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog' by Anna & Maciej Wojtas
He received some support and patronage from the Russian Royal Family, but generally his work was not widely appreciated at the time and was considered to be too original and difficult to understand.

Friedrich’s later years became miserable as the modern world moved towards realism, away from his romantic ideals, and he became destitute, disliked and ill, to the extent of suffering a stroke, rendering him unable to paint large works. His later work became more pessimistic, with symbols of death and cold, stark scenes, similar to these photos:
 

'Alone' by Shahram jahansooz       'TRANSPARANT TILES' by Juan PIXELECTA  

'Winter at Yellowstone' by LI QUN XIA  

'Resilience' by Andel Paulmann Mast
He died lonely and destitute, only to be remembered much later in history.

I hope that, in this selection of photographs, I have managed to capture what might have been had he been born today, with the graphic tools that we have at our disposal.
