WANDERER ABOVE THE SEA OF FOG MEANING PLUS

Il a été composé à partir de 1817 et est avec La Mer de glace l'une des œuvres les plus célèbres du peintre.Īu premier plan, un homme est debout sur un rocher en hauteur, le dos tourné au spectateur. Le Voyageur contemplant une mer de nuages aussi intitulé Le Voyageur au dessus de la mer de nuages ou L’homme contemplant une mer de brume (en allemand : Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer) est un tableau du peintre romantique allemand Caspar David Friedrich, exposé à la Kunsthalle de Hambourg. Gaddis (2004) felt that the impression the wanderer's position atop the precipice and before the twisted outlook leaves 'is contradictory, suggesting at once mastery over a landscape and the insignificance of the individual within it.' Dembo (2001) sympathised, asserting that Wanderer presents a metaphor for the unknown future. Gorra's (2004) analysis was that the message conveyed by the painting is one of Kantian self-reflection, expressed through the wanderer's gazings into the murkiness of the sea of fog. Wanderer above the Sea of Fog is true to the Romantic style and Friedrich's style in particular, being similar to other works such as Chalk Cliffs on Rügen and The Sea of Ice. The rocks on which the traveller stands are a group on the Kaiserkrone. The group of rocks in front of it represent the Gamrig near Rathen. The mountain in the background to the left could be either the Rosenberg or the Kaltenberg. In the background to the right is the Zirkelstein.

The painting is composed of various elements from the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony and Bohemia, sketched in the field but in accordance with his usual practice, rearranged by Friedrich himself in the studio for the painting. Beyond here, the pervading fog stretches out indefinitely, eventually commingling with the horizon and becoming indistinguishable from the cloud-filled sky. In the far distance, faded mountains rise in the left, gently leveling off into lowland plains in the east. Through the wreaths of fog, forests of trees can be perceived atop these escarpments. In the middle ground, several other ridges, perhaps not unlike the ones the wanderer himself stands upon, jut out from the mass. His hair caught in a wind, the wanderer gazes out on a landscape covered in a thick sea of fog. He is wrapped in a dark green overcoat, and grips a walking stick in his right hand.

In the foreground, a young man stands upon a rocky precipice with his back to the viewer. It currently resides in the Kunsthalle Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany.

Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (German: Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer), also known as Wanderer Above the Mist, is an oil painting composed in 1818 by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich.
