About Woman in front of the Setting Sun
Woman in front of the Setting Sun (1818, Frau vor der untergehenden Sonne) by Casper David Friedrich, also known as Woman before the Rising Sun, is possibly the artist's wife Caroline Brommer. Friedrich makes use of Rückenfigur (a rear-facing figure that is not the primary subject), allowing the viewer to place themselves into the scene. It is interpreted as an emblem of life's transience and individual salvation. The woman is silhouetted against a reddish-yellow sunset radiating from the distant mountains, arms outstretched.
