Art Appreciation
Casper David Friedrich was born in a Pomeranian town of Greifswald on September 5, 1774. The landscape painter is best known for his mid-period allegorical paintings which typically featured silhouettes in the background.
His popularity rose a century later during the Nazi era, but sharply declined as his paintings were associated with its movement.
