Day 17: An art piece

Of course, I love the Wanderer--he has been on my blog for a long time.  I don't get tired of him.  This is artistic and psychological brilliance.
Caspar David Friedrich. . .his art makes me so happy.  He was a German Romantic artist, but I find a Pacific Northwest connection; oftentimes I'll be outdoors and suddenly realize, "That's a Caspar David Friedrich landscape!"  I really have seen clouds like this:
I'm indebted to Wikimedia Commons, because I keep finding new pieces by him!  But here's another perennial favorite of mine, Der Watzmann.  The textures, colors, and rock formations are classic Friedrich.  There is such a tidiness to his style, plus a perfect balance/conflict between realism and fantasy.  More Friedrich epicness here.
