The Sea of Ice (German: Das Eismeer), also
called The Wreck of Hope (German: Die gescheiterte Hoffnung) is an oil
painting of 1823–1824 by the German Romantic artist Caspar David
Friedrich.The landscape depicts a shipwreck in the middle of a broken ice-sheet, whose shards have piled up after the impact. The ice has become like a monolithic tomb, or dolmen, whose edges jut into the sky. The stern of the wreck is just visible on the right. As an inscription on it confirms, this is HMS Griper, one of two ships that took part in William Edward Parry's 1819–1820 and 1824 expeditions to the North Pole.
The two titles originally referred to the present work and another older work by Friedrich, now missing. The lost painting was shown in 1822 at the Dresden Academy exhibition under the title A Wrecked Ship off the Coast of Greenland in the Moonlight. Own Invention. The present painting was first shown in 1824 at the Prague Academy exhibition under the title An Idealized Scene of an Arctic Sea, with a Wrecked Ship on the Heaped Masses of Ice.
In Friedrich's estate this work was described as Ice Picture. The Disaster-stricken North Pole Expedition. The collector Johann Gottlob von Quandt commissioned two pictures that were to symbolize the south and the north. Johann Martin von Rohden received the commission to paintSouthern Nature in her Abundant and Majestic Splendor, while the commission for Northern Nature in the whole of her Terrifying Beauty fell to Friedrich. However, as Schukowski in a letter dated 1821 reported, Friedrich - himself does not even know what he will paint; he waits for the moment of inspiration, which (in his own words) occasionally comes in a dream.
Accounts of expeditions to the North Pole were occasionally published during those years which is likely how Friedrich became familiar with William Edward Parry's 1819–1820 expedition to find the Northwest Passage. In the winter of 1820–21, Friedrich made extensive oil studies of ice floes on the river Elbe, near Dresden. http://wikioo.org/paintings.php?refarticle=7YXQM8&artistname=Caspar%20David%20Friedrich

This is the third version of one of this
artist's most famous paintings, of which the first (1819) is in the
Gemäldegalerie, Dresden, and the second (ca. 1824) is in the Alte
Nationalgalerie, Berlin. The two men contemplating the sinking moon have
been identified as Friedrich himself, on the right, and his talented
young colleague August Heinrich (1794-1822). The mood of pious
contemplation relates to fascination with the moon as expressed in
contemporary poetry, literature, philosophy, and music. Both figures are
seen from the back so that the viewer can participate in their
communion with nature, which the Romantics saw as a manifestation of the
Sublime. Although the landscape is imaginary, it is based on studies
after nature that Friedrich had made in various regions at different
times. Both men wear Old German dress, which had been adopted in 1815 by
radical students as an expression of opposition to the
ultraconservative policies then being enforced in the wake of the
Napoleonic Wars. The staunchly patriotic Friedrich deliberately ignored
the 1819 royal decree forbidding this practice and depicted figures in
traditional costume until his death.

(Greifswald, 1774-Dresden, 1840) Pintor alemão. Foi o paisagista mais notável do romantismo alemão. Em suas pinturas encontra-se um sentimento de profundo pânico perante a natureza (Dolmen en la nieve, 1807) e o conhecimento atônito e quase doloroso da insuficiência do homem frente a sua grandeza. (El viajero frente al mar de niebla, 1818). O significado de suas obras é enriquecida por frequentes referências à mitologia alemã. Nas pinturas tardias, o valor simbólico se faz mais evidente na eleição do tema e na simplificação das formas. O artista preferiu a paisagem em determinadas horas do dia, quando se presta a correlações psicológicas mais diretas, como nas obras onde aparecem, isoladas e quase perdidas, pequenas figuras humanas.(Dos hombres contemplando la luna).

A história nem sempre está sob nosso controle. A obra do artista alemão Casper David Friedrich nos ajuda a encarar de frente
o quão pequenos somos perante o mundo e o quão impotentes somos perante a História.

Caspar
David Friedrich’s "Stages of Life" is one of the most famous artworks
of the Romanticist painter. The journeys of human lives are symbolized
by ships sailing on the ocean. When the ship approaches the harbour, the
life of the person comes to its end. Friedrich’s pictures express the
loss of human centrality in the artistic discourse of the 19th century.
Landscape is no more a mere background, and the humans depicted in it
turn their back towards the viewer. This displacement favours the
dispossessing twist of the anthropocentric dissolution: Man loses his
central place and becomes an observer; his presence is merely the trace
of a lost authority.
In the Germanic experience of nature, a very mystical and personal
sentiment, the painter found the method to bring one of romanticisms
fundamental aspirations to its perfection: the merging of inner and
outer realities, the vision of the landscape as a suggestive reflection
of the soul. Minimizing human presence, as already anticipated by Far
Eastern Taoist landscape painters, introduced a new approach into the
European cultural context, and its after-effects are still noticeable to
our days in Conceptual Art and Land Art. In our film Christof Metzger, chief curator at the Albertina Museum in Vienna, talks about this artwork by Romanticist painter Caspar David Friedrich. The exhibition "Worlds of Romanticism" is on display at Albertina Museum in Vienna till 21st of February 2016. (written by Cem Angeli)

05 de Setembro de 1774: Nasce o pintor romântico Caspar David Friedrich
Caspar
David Friedrich nasceu no dia 5 de Setembro de 1774 em Greifswald ,
cidade alemã que na época fazia parte da Suécia e estudou na Academia de
Copenhaga. Em 1798,
instalou-se em Desden, onde se tornou membro de um circulo artístico e
literário, imbuído de ideais do movimento romântico.
Os
seus primeiros desenhos, delineados com lápis ou com sépia, exploravam
motivos recorrentes no seu trabalho: praias rochosas, planícies áridas,
cadeias infinitas de montanhas e árvores que se agigantavam em direcção
ao céu. Mais tarde, o seu trabalho passou a reflectir uma resposta
emocional ao cenário real e visível.
Friedrich começou a pintar óleos em 1807. Uma das suas primeira telas, A cruz nas montanhas,
é bem representativa do amadurecimento do seu estilo. Nela, há um
ousado rompimento com a pintura religiosa tradicional e um destaque
especial para a paisagem. A figura do Cristo crucificado reproduz-se em
silhueta, criada pelo pôr-do-sol na montanha, dominando o ambiente. Como
escreveu o próprio pintor, todos os elementos da composição tem um
significado simbólico. As montanhas são alegorias da fé; os raios de sol
simbolizam o fim do mundo pré-cristão; e os pinheiros marcam o
surgimento da esperança. As cores frias mas ácidas de Friedrich, com
brilhante luminosidade, e a variedade de contornos, aumentam o
sentimento de melancolia, de isolamento, trazendo a sensação de
impotência humana diante das forças da natureza expressas em suas
pinturas.
Como
membro efectivo da Academia de Dresden, Friedrich acabou por
influenciar muitos pintores românticos alemães que vieram após ele.
Ainda que a sua projecção tenha diminuído após a morte, é certo que os
observadores do século XXI permanecem fascinados com sua imaginação.
