Original – Caspar David Friedrich landscapes show us a nature that has a metaphysical - transcendent character. His themes were often circulating around the questions of existence, destruction and creation.
Reason
Caspar David Friedrich romantic landscape painter, was one of the first artists to portray winter landscapes as austere, forbidding and dead. His winter scenes are solemn and still. According to the art historian Hermann Beenken, Friedrich painted winter scenes in which "no man has yet set his foot". Although based on direct observation, his landscapes did not reproduce nature but were painted to create a dramatic effect, using nature as a mirror of human emotions.

  • Please note - I wish that Marinka van Dam to stay away from this nomination - and all the other ones that are mine - as well - for certain reasons, sorry but that's the way it is. No support, no oppose - nothing. – Hafspajen (talk) 14:15, 23 October 2014 (UTC) [reply]
  • Hafspajen you need to learn that discussion is valued here. You've tried to discourage my contributions before, now here with another editor. That's not how Wikipedia operates. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes dear, but it is not about you, and in that case it was a mistake, sorry. Things are more complex sometimes, sorry can't explain right now, maybe later. Hafspajen (talk) 20:45, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - Very good. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:32, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support with winter coming, this landscape makes me feel like it's winter already! ///EuroCarGT 03:38, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the nomination. However, I share the IP user's concern about forbidding another to speak. This is not in accord with our ideas of how to build this encyclopedia. If there is some problem, it should be reported to the appropriate channels and will hopefully be responsibly dealt with. Samsara (FA • FP) 08:03, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- At 30 pixels per square mm it meets my criteria adequately. Marinka van Dam (talk) 14:41, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Marinka van Dam is blocked indefinetly as Coat of Many Colours sock. See here. Disregard any comment per FP voting rules: Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-third majority in support, including the nominator and/or creator of the image; however, anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. So now you know - WHY. Hello everybody else. Hafspajen (talk) 00:01, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
