Caspar David Friedrich (September 5, 1774 – May 7, 1840) was a 19th-century German Romantic landscape painter, generally considered to be the most important of the movement. He was a prolific artist who produced more than 500 attributed works and is best known for his allegorical landscapes.

The Wanderer above the Sea of Mist is one of Freidrich’s most famous paintings, and is currently on display in the Hamburger-Kunsthalle Museum, Germany.

He served as Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussel from 1961 to 1979, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1962.
