I just recently looked more into his works and I feel like his paintings are what computer game artists want to create with their environments. The grandiosity, feeling small in an environment that is ever changing and can never be fully understood are two elements that make his work so mysterious and captivating. Once you look at one of his paintings it feels like sinking into them. For these aspects specifically I feel like he would be the ideal study for game artists and it definatly makes him a great inspiration for me.
What an amazing artist! I was lucky enough to take an art history class in just 8th grade and even back then I remember how much these paintings moved me. It's almost difficult to watch this video because of how overwhelming these paintings can be for me. Still, I made it to the end and glad I did. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! They're deeply contemplative and you're right, many of them are almost overwhelming. He was a remarkable artist. Thank you for watching!
I felt the same when I saw the paintings in the Charlottenburger Schloss in Berlin on a vacation. They trigger deep emotions of longing, yearning and nostalgia. The same as watching a colorful sunset. The desire to see and find out what is behind the horizon.
I was exiled from a religious cult, and this painting has haunted and inspired me ever since my excommunication. This experience upturned every aspect of my inner life. It is fitting that this painting was used as the front cover for some versions of Friedrich Nietzsche’s ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ and the ideals of the Übermensch and the ‘Death of God.’ *Alone but not Lonely*
caspar is one of my absolute favorites not only am i from germany i lived in dresden a while and hiked the elbsandsteingebirge where he drew inspiration from. My love for his art goes so far that he is almost always the background of my desktops and i got the wanderer above the mist tattood on me. He is just a completly one of a kind artist with such humling and deeply resonating messages. Wonderful Video as always. Thank you.
received the print of this painting (wanderer above the sea of fog) just some hour ago. what a coincidence. btw it was me that suggested you to make a video on Caspar David Friedrich.
I'd only known of this specific artwork from the often big house published paperback edition, "Thus Spake (Spoke) Zarathustra" by Nietszche! Now we can learn its individual origins, of the artist, and their historic and artistic milieu beyond the usual tie-ins to sometimes historically unrelated works of philosophy, literature, esoterica. Thank you for this critical learning of oft-overlooked art in themselves and their artists!
The works of Caspar David Friedrich have been a great inspiration of mine this year and one of the main reasons for me to move to the seaside in a few weeks and settle there :)
👁️✨👁️ aloha from northern CA. My first glimpse of Mountain Landscape 1822-1823 caught my breath It's the creeks here after a heavy rain savages a drought weakened pine omg the sadness .. Dreamer caught my heart
Just watched the new “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Definitely felt like the photography has some strong references to some of Friedrich’s foggy landscapes. Particularly around the second little foray to the farmhouse. Anybody get that feeling?
Friedrich is one of my favourite painters, along with El Greco, Vassily Kandinsky and Georgia O’Keeffe. Abbey in the Oakwood is my personal favourite of his, though there really isn’t a “bad painting” of his =] I had made a musical piece in tribute to him under the name The Condition.
You should definitely make videos of more underrated painters as well. Such as Greek painter Nikiforos Lytras the most prominent artist of our culture. Or Surrealist Greek painter Nikos Eggonopoulos. Or Sofia Laskaridou who graduated from the French school of Arts, returned to Greece and asked the King himself to include women graduating in the art school of Athens opening the doors for more women to participate in art.
I'd like to know more about the artist Kate Baylay, she's an illustrator publicized briefly in 2018 but hasn't been active since then it seems. Her style is reminiscent of Audrey Beardsley, Egon Shiele and Gustav Klimt albeit gothic/decadent.
Until 2015 I worked as a guide and art historian in the museum which owns the "Wanderer above the sea of fog". I saw the painting every day and it never lost his magic.

The best! Love these

Excellent writing as usual.

Another great video. Thank you so much
I was pleased to see you read my suggestion. The episodes where Rachael introduces herself seem more professional. She is a stunning narrator.
It was an awesome suggestion. Thank you so much! ✨

Yes! I think that’s one of the more significant references for his work. Thank you for watching!
Brilliant, thanks.

JIMMY HAS RETURNED!
Return of the JimJam!
Çok değerlisiniz. Teşekkürler ve başarılar.
The cat🥰😍
Jimmy loves his camera time!
YAY !!!
I adore this channel, thank you for all your content, it is so well-made. May I request a Bernini video? Haha, I am currenting crushing on his work!
Thanks so much Jessina! Bernini would be wonderful for a Follow the Artist episode set in Rome. One day soon hopefully 🤞 ✨
Same as other videos, loved this one!! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Amazing video as always! I wouldn’t mind hearing your thoughts on Gustave Doré. He’s probably my favorite artist
We adore Doré! We’ll make a short about him asap
Love the Sublime, another great choice would be the epic paintings of John Martin.
Yes great suggestion! We put a wild Martin painting in our Thomas Cole documentary and I've been obsessed ever since!
I love your cat!!!
I would love a video on Maria Helena Viera da Silva.
Will add her to the list!
Great suggestion. :)
1:13 Dick Mountains, by Caspar David Friedrich.
😂 I was waiting for this comment tbh
@@TheArtTourist Delighted to oblige.
Awesome video!
"Who are we to the sea and sky, history and time?" such a beautiful line, where does it come from, if not your original saying?
Awesome channel.
What a great video! May I ask what music you use for the background?
It’s original music we made for the channel.
That's awesome! It is a perfect companion to the video.
Thanks!

This channel pairs well with wine.

I just squatted 455 lbs ass to grass listening to this, love The Cross in the Mountains btw 🥰
Impressive!
Francois Boucher!
Kanye's new album art sent me here 🔥
Landscape with Graves! Wow! 🪦
