Detail of Two Men Contemplating the Moon by Caspar David Friedrich in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Feb. 2020
Two Men Contemplating the Moon
ca. 1825–30
Caspar David Friedrich German
Object Details
Title: Two Men Contemplating the Moon
Artist: Caspar David Friedrich (German, Greifswald 1774–1840 Dresden)
Date: ca. 1825–30
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 13 3/4 x 17 1/4 in. (34.9 x 43.8 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Wrightsman Fund, 2000
Accession Number: 2000.51
These two figures are seen from behind so that the viewer may participate in their communion with nature. They have been identified as Friedrich, at right, and his friend and disciple August Heinrich (1794–1822). Fascination with the moon ran high among the German Romantics, who regarded the motif as an object of pious contemplation. This is the third version of one of Friedrich’s most famous compositions, of which the first was painted during Heinrich’s lifetime (1819; Gemäldegalerie, Dresden) and the second soon after his death (ca. 1824; Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin).
