• Man_and_Woman_Contemplating_the_Moon abstract "The painting Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon was created by Caspar David Friedrich in 1824. The painting’s material is oil on canvas and stands 34 centimeters tall by 44 centimeters wide. The piece currently resides in the Nationalgalerie, Berlin, Germany.Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon is a German Romantic landscape painting which features two human figures among a dark forest silhouetted against a pastel sky. The work's dark toned foreground and light colored background create a sharp contrast. The sky suggests that the time is around dusk, with the waxing crescent moon close to setting. A dead, uprooted tree's dark roots and branches sharply contrast with the pastel sky in the background. The jagged branches and stark contrast seem to create a threatening environment for the figures, and are reminiscent of the imposing gothic style seen originally in the medieval era, but revived in the Romantic era. The same can be said of the dark, shadowy trees and rocks surrounding the couple in the piece. The figures themselves are even dressed in dark colors and stiff, somewhat formal garments, which also serve to signify their higher class. The piece focuses heavily on nature as the couple gaze off into the sunset, and provokes an emotional response from the viewer, as well as from the figures featured in the piece. It also emphasizes spirituality in nature and the presence of the sublime, major themes of the Romantic era. The piece is an idealization of man’s connection to nature, represented by an average couple in higher society surrounded by an unexpected landscape otherwise untouched by civilization.In the piece, the man and woman featured are facing away from the viewer, centered vertically, and located left of center horizontally. The woman's arm is resting of the man’s shoulder, acknowledging their close relationship and her need for protection and intimacy. The serene and contemplative pose of the couple contrasts sharply with the contorsions of the half uprooted oak tree, which is itself in opposition with the verticality of the lush pine tree on the left. This irregular and asymmetrical pictorial construction - one linked with the post-Baroque aesthetic of the previous century- was fairly rare in Friedrich's work, often characterized by regular geometric arrangements.Friedrich created another version of this painting titled Two Men Contemplating the Moon, and, as the name suggests, it lacks the female figure. It has been said that the addition of the female figure is an homage to the artist’s relationship with his own wife. They are viewing the moon together in the middle of the forest, signifying an appreciation of and emotional response to nature. The figures seem to be in awe of the natural creation and inspired by the sublime creator. The viewer is meant to identify with the figures, and participate in their contemplation of nature and the sublime.".
