Wanderer above the Sea of Fog by Casper Friedrich
I personally chose this piece of art because this piece has been considered one of the masterpieces of romanticism. People believed that this was a self portrait of Friedrich. He painted this a contemplation and self reflection, mesmerized by the haze of the sea fog as if it were a religious and spiritual experience. He wonders at that moment about the unforeseen future. This inspires me because many of us including myself we try and find a place in our mind to be inspired or to be creative in life. Many times in our lives we wonder where we will be in the future, who will we become, and what can we do to succeed in life. Friedrich found his inspiration through nature, and all his paintings surrounded itself was by nature. In all my life I could never understand why I look up at the sky. looking at the trees, or looking at every mountain I pass by when I am in the car. This is because when I look at them I have a clearer mind, a better way for myself to just think. His art was also dislayed as a act of individualism. As a female, I rely on noone, but myself. I take care of myself, and I work everyday of my life to be independent on my own.
