  1. The painting’s view comes from Stubbenkammer, then a famous lookout on Rügen.

  2. Erosion formed the Wissower Klinken after the painting, so they were not its model.

  3. Friedrich combined details from different sketches, so the scene may not depict one precise location.

History

Friedrich’s painting shows three figures looking toward a view framed by two trees. The central figure is often thought to represent Friedrich, and the woman in red is often identified as his wife, Caroline. Their blue, red and green clothing can represent faith, love and hope. Art historian Helmut Börsch-Supan interprets the painting as reflecting Friedrich’s relation to death and its threat to life.

  1. 1818Caspar David Friedrich visited Rügen with his wife and brother during his honeymoon.
  2. c. 1820The chalk cliffs had become a destination for early Rügen tourism.
