Caspar David Friedrich Abbey In The Oakwood 1810 Gothic Ruin Poster
Caspar David Friedrich’s Abbey in the Oakwood (1810) – a ruined abbey among skeletal oaks under a winter moon. Gothic Romanticism at its most haunting.
Description
Abbey in the Oakwood (1810) is one of Caspar David Friedrich's most haunting works: a procession of monks approaches a ruined Gothic abbey framed by bare winter oaks, with graves in the snow and a thin crescent moon overhead. Its deep shadows and eerie calm make it a mesmerizing statement piece. A gift for lovers of Gothic art and German Romanticism.
