Caspar David Friedrich, The Lonely Tree


i simply love this painting, i can't express it otherwise. in contrast to "popular" opinion, i don't think the atmosphere is sad and depressed but melancholic and pensive. i really was startled to find it causing a strange pang in my heart the first time i saw it, yet it did, and does anew every time i take a look. the landscape the artist painted here appeals to me on such a level that i really would dive into it if i could.
you notice that the sky looks so real you feel like contemplating a pic?
