description: Friedrich is among the greatest of those Romantic artists in whose work spiritual yearning is the dominant theme. A close literary counterpart to his landscapes, in which sharply observed detail is laden with metaphorical or symbolic meaning, is the work of the English nature-poet William Wordsworth. Both epitomized an international trend in the years around 1800 to contemplate the state of nature, as opposed to the “civilized” states of humankind, for revelations about basic and eternal truths.
