ABOUT THE WORK Romantic Painter Caspar David Friedrich's Drifting Clouds was created in 1820 and the painting is in Hamburger Kunsthalle. The original size of the work is 18.3 x 24.5 cm and is made of oil on canvas. In the smallest format, Friedrich faced the difficult task of combining a view of the landscape with its obscuration by banks of clouds that crisscross the picture field. While at first glance the painting appears to be a spontaneously captured oil sketch, closer inspection reveals it to be a highly calculated, planned composition with enormous spatial significance. Immediately beyond the threshold of the picture are fields of scree. Adjacent to this is a mountain meadow with a small pond nestled within it. Behind this, the terrain slopes downwards and extends further into the background over the mountain ridges that jut into the picture from the right. The horizon line is only discernible in the upper quarter of the painting. Jumping from hole in the clouds to hole in the clouds, the viewer's eye can imaginarily wander over valleys and hills to the farthest background. For the layout of the picture, Friedrich drew on a drawing he had made in the summer of 1811 while hiking in the Harz Mountains, which in all likelihood shows the view from the Brocken. The Artist: Caspar David Friedrich (1774 - 1840) was a 19th-century German Romantic landscape painter, generally considered the most important German artist of his generation.
