A print of “Chalk Cliffs on Rügen” by Caspar David Friedrich on your wall
White cliffs, a turquoise sea and two trees embracing the view like a natural frame - Chalk Cliffs on Rügen opens the wall onto space. Caspar David Friedrich painted the picture in the year of his wedding, which is why this landscape carries tenderness and hope. A print of Chalk Cliffs on Rügen is beautiful wall art for a bedroom, a coastal-style living room or a study that needs room to breathe. White, sea blue and lush green pair with pale wood, linen, rattan and cool greys. The vertical crop emphasises the depth of the view, and large-scale wallpaper creates the effect of a window looking out over the Baltic. Dibond preserves the subtle texture of the light; 5 mm acrylic glass draws out the intensity of the water. Any size - from intimate to monumental - can be ordered in the artMonte configurator.

Chalk Cliffs on Rügen
About the artwork
The painting was made around 1818, the year of Caspar David Friedrich's marriage to Caroline Bommer, with whom the painter travelled to the island of Rügen on their honeymoon. Three figures at the edge of the cliff, framed by trees and white rocks, gaze out over the vast turquoise sea. The scene unites personal experience with the contemplation of nature and infinity characteristic of Romanticism. The canvas belongs to the collection of the Oskar Reinhart Foundation in Winterthur, Switzerland.
