[edit] Selected Works
The titles of the linked works may not correspond to the images provided.
I, too, am reporting a problem with titles being incorrectly assigned to images. In particular, a painting labeled as "Cloister Graveyard in the Snow" (1810) is actually a similar but altogether different painting called "Abbey in the Oakwood" (1810). "Cloister Graveyard in the Snow" was painted 1817-1819, and that image is not displayed here. Sorry I couldn't fix it myself.
[edit] The Sea of Ice (Das Eismeer)
I wanted to compliment whoever comtributed the information on Friedrich's "Sea of Ice" (Dad EismeeR -- it is accurate, and so many sources make the mistake of confusing it with "The Wreck of the Hope."
But as to the caption:
"The sea of ice, 1824 (mistakenly known as "The wreck of the Hope" which was destroyed in 20th century)"
I am most curious about this -- so far as I had known, "The Wreck of the Hope" had been lost ages ago, some saying it was buried in the bowels of the Hermitage, others that it was looted by the Nazis -- if the person contributing this information could contact me, I would be grateful. I hope to add a paragraph about "The Sea of Ice," which I've been studying for years, to the wiki article on Friedrich, but want to make sure I have every detail correct.

[edit] First Paragraph
Does anyone want to clarify the first paragraph, because I am not clearly able to tell what movement he was the finest member of? It might be the American Romantic, but I actully have no idea. And the paragraph for his life is missing too.Sursikeohsechsee 20:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
