"Wanderer above the Sea of Fog", painted in 1818 by Caspar David Friedrich, is an iconic work of German Romanticism, reflecting the intimate relationship between the human being and sublime nature.

The painting captures a moment of solitary contemplation, where the protagonist, with his back to the viewer, seems to lose himself in the immensity of a misty landscape. Friedrich uses the contrast between the human figure and the vast natural surroundings to emphasize the smallness of man against the forces of nature, a central theme in Romanticism. Additionally, the pyramidal composition of the painting, with the wanderer at the top of the Kaiserkrone mountain, suggests a spiritual or philosophical quest, typical of the era and of Romanticism reacting against the Enlightenment of the 18th century which centered everything on reason. The work influenced the later development of landscape painting and the depiction of landscape as a reflection of the artist's emotional state.
