| Description |  |
A central figure in the German Romantic movement, Friedrich possessed a deeply personal and introspective vision that attracted a wide following. Among the last canvases he completed before a debilitating stroke, «A Walk at Dusk" shows a single figure -perhaps the artist himself-contemplating a megalithic tomb. This symbol of death is counterbalanced by the waving moon, which was for Friedrich a sign of Christ's promise of rebirth.
