I have long found Caspar David Friedrich’s (1774-1840) paintings to have a certain haunting quality that is hard to put my finger on, and when I was doing some additional research on his work I found a few of his fellow Germans of the same era with a similar kind of quality. Here are a few of them…
Megalithic Grave in Winter, Johan Christian Clausen Dahl (1788-1857), 1825
Cemetary on Mount Oybin, Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869), 1828
