A print of “Moonrise over the Sea” by Caspar David Friedrich on your wall
Violet, pink and the coppery gold of the sky are mirrored in still water, while three figures on the rocks gaze at the returning ships. Friedrich's Moonrise over the Sea is a romantic painting for a bedroom, a guest room and a seaside hotel suite, where it sets the mood of evening. The cool violets combine nicely with grey, dark navy and brass accessories, as well as plum-coloured upholstery. The original's proportions are close to 4:3, so we recommend a horizontal crop in a medium or large size, for example 120 x 90 cm above a chest of drawers or a headboard. On 5 mm acrylic glass a Friedrich painting gains a luminosity, as if the moon really broke through the clouds; Dibond gives a calmer, matt version closer to the original canvas. The artMonte configurator accepts any dimension - we print the reproduction exactly for your wall.

Moonrise over the Sea
About the artwork
On the coastal boulders sit three figures with their backs to the viewer - two women and a man - watching two sailing ships approach the shore in the light of the rising moon. The sky passes from violet through pink to a golden glow. Friedrich painted the picture in 1822 on commission from the Berlin banker and collector Joachim Heinrich Wilhelm Wagener, as a pendant to "The Solitary Tree". Both canvases went to the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, whose holdings began with Wagener's collection.
