FRIEDRICH, CASPAR DAVID (1774–1840), German painter.
Caspar David Friedrich (born 5 September 1774 in Greifswald, died 7 May 1840 in Dresden) is the outstanding painter of German Romanticism.
His importance for German art is comparable to that of Eugène Delacroix for Romanticism in France or that of J. M. W. Turner in Great Britain. At most, Philipp Otto Runge's (1777–1810) influence may be said to rival Friedrich's.
Greifswald in New Western Pomerania, Friedrich's birthplace, had been under Swedish rule from 1648 to 1814, and only the Congress of Vienna (1814–1815) brought its cession to Prussia.
Friedrich was the sixth of ten children in an artisan's family.
