Wanderer above the Sea of Fog ☵ Friedrich ☳ Canvas

Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818, Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer) by Casper David Friedrich is possibly a self-portrait, interpreted as an emblem of self-reflection and contemplation of life's path. The painting is a significant example of Rückenfigur (a rear-facing figure that is not the primary subject), which Friedrich frequently used, allowing the viewer to place themselves into the scene. It depicts a man in a dark green overcoat, with a walking stick in his right hand, standing upon a rocky precipice, gazing out at mountains and trees in a sea of fog.

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
