FRIEDRICH, Caspar David
(b. 1774, Greifswald, d. 1840, Dresden)

Evening

c. 1824
Oil on cardboard, 20 x 27,5 cm
Kunsthalle, Mannheim

English influences, from Constable or others working in a similar vein, may account for Friedrich's interest in cloud studies, as evidenced by this painting, a small oil study on cardboard which is highly innovative, almost avant-garde in character.
