Seashore in the Fog

"Seashore in the Fog" by Caspar David Friedrich is a hauntingly atmospheric painting that immerses the viewer in a quiet moment of mystery and solitude. Almost swallowed by the thick fog, the outline of a ship slowly emerges from the dense mist, barely visible against the pale sky and calm sea. In the foreground, scattered rocks and the ghostly silhouette of a small rowboat deepen the sense of stillness. Typical of Friedrich’s romantic style, the painting evokes feelings of introspection and the sublime—where nature’s vastness confronts human fragility and transience.
