Friedrich Paintings

By artforus

There are some fantastic Friedrich Paintings to buy as reproductions from this exciting gallery. Friedrich was a famous German artist who is classed as a Romanticist but whose paintings and style have influenced artists from many different backgrounds ever since his career ended in the 19th century.

Those interested in his paintings would also probably enjoy Turner paintings and Constable paintings, as these follow a similar love for emotional depictions of landscapes at a time where it was a relatively new idea.

Artfor.us will continue to add exciting artists, whether they are portrait or landscape based, and from whatever country they derive – the aim is to be as inclusive as possible.

By the 1920s his paintings had been discovered by the Expressionists, and in the 1930s and early 1940s Surrealists and Existentialists frequently drew ideas from his work.

Bare oak trees and tree stumps, such as those in Raven Tree, Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon, and Willow Bush under a Setting Sun, are recurring elements of Friedrich’s paintings, symbolizing death.
