Two Men Contemplating the Moon, Caspar David Friedrich, 1830

This is a reproduction of “Zwei Manner in Betrachtung des Mondes” of 1830 by Caspar David Friedrich.  This oil on canvas is part of the revolution Friedrich started in the art world, the movement known as Romanticism.  He was fifty-six years old when this was painted.  The artist is the figure on the right and is accompanied by his younger colleague August Heinrich.  They are both in older styled dress which was a mode of expressing disapproval of the conservative policies in effect in Post-Napoleonic Germany.  The original work is 43.8 cm by 34.9 cm and is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
