Transcendentalism Art - 1

Evan Hopes
Transcendentalism Art - 1

"The Oak Tree in the Snow" (1829) by Caspar David Friedrich
This piece represents the passage of time and how it affects nature. Friedrich painted it during an elongated period of introspection. During this period, he identified the true power of nature, and how it can be utilized by man. This piece however, demonstrates how it has been wasted, if not taken advantage of now, will soon fade into permanent oblivion.
