ABOUT THE WORK Romantic Painter Caspar David Friedrich's The Sea of Ice was created in 1823 - 1824 and the painting is in Hamburger Kunsthalle. The original size of the work is 96,7 x 126,9 cm and is made of oil on canvas. In the winter of 1820/21, Friedrich witnessed the ice drift on the Elbe River. Fascinated by this rare natural spectacle, he made three oil sketches of ice floes on site (Hamburg Kunsthalle). He returned to these sketches a few years later when he created his famous painting The Sea of ​​Ice, but increased the scale to monumental proportions. Vast ice floes tower into a mountain in the center of this polar landscape. A ship, pushed beneath the floes on the right and seemingly buried by them, portends the dangers of such an expedition into inhospitable regions. An arrow-shaped chunk of ice and a towering, pointed ice floe in the foreground further draw the viewer's attention to the ship. The icy cold can almost be felt in the picture. Everything seems still, as if frozen. Yet despite all the drama, the painting is not a rejection of life, for the sky clears at the top of the picture. Presumably, Frederick intended this reference to transcendence to create hope for eternal life after death. 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.
