Das grosse Gehege (Ostra-Gehege) (The large enclosure): Caspar David Friedrich, 1832 (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden)
Caspar David Friedrich's
technique of gathering
empty pastures of light
saturated with a kind
of melancholy radiation
on the middle of his canvases
came to him in a dream
When he worked
at painting a sky
no one was permitted
to enter his studio
because he believed
God was present
Clicking on the image expands the view, helping bring out the centering of the light.
