1. Caspar David Friedrich, Klosterfriedhof im Schnee (1819).A. My own interpretation of this painting is this: it has a sad, dry mood. It's a cold winter day with dead branches giving it its dry, sad mood. The branches do not have leaves which symbolize death. The background is very opaque and the ground is full of snow, showing a typical cold winter day. There are crosses on the ground on the left side of the painting, as if people had died there. There are also people entering some sort of entrance. Most of the time this drawing looks very haunting and depressing.B. The main story behind this painting is that it may have been a ruined nave of the church. This cathedral was destroyed and you can see that it is completely demolished. The purpose of this drawing was a reflection on the change that occurred earlier in this period. Since the church and monks in the painting do not actually exist, this drawing was a reflection of the situation in time. http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/his/CoreArt/art/rom_fri_clcem.html C.
