Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, is an oil painting by German artist Caspar David Friedrich that was completed about 1818. It is regarded as one of the most representative and important works of the German Romantic movement.

The sublime power of nature is a dominant theme in Friedrich’s paintings. The landscape of his native Germany was an important source of inspiration.

This romantic painting emphasizes two seemingly contradictory points

The awesome power of the natural world
The individual Western man as the master of that world
