"Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" is a celebrated oil painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, completed around 1818. This masterpiece is renowned for its breathtaking depiction of the chalk cliffs of the Stubbenkammer, located on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen, which is part of present-day Germany. Friedrich, known for his landscapes that evoke emotion and the sublime, captures not just the natural beauty of the scene but also imbues it with a deep sense of introspection and transcendence.

The painting features three figures, believed to be Friedrich himself, his wife Christiane, and his brother Christian, standing atop the cliffs, overlooking the vast sea. The composition, with its dramatic use of perspective and light, draws the viewer's eye towards the infinite horizon, symbolizing the Romantic themes of man's relationship with nature and the divine. The figures are dwarfed by the majestic cliffs and the expansive sky, emphasizing human vulnerability and the sublime power of nature.

"Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" is often interpreted as a reflection of Friedrich's personal experiences and his philosophical and spiritual beliefs. The painting's meticulous detail, combined with its thematic depth, makes it a quintessential example of Romanticism. It not only showcases Friedrich's skill as a painter of landscapes but also his ability to convey complex emotional and existential themes through his art.

Today, "Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" is held in high esteem as one of Friedrich's most important works. It continues to captivate audiences with its stunning beauty and its profound reflection on nature, humanity, and the sublime. The painting is housed in the Museum Oskar Reinhart am Stadtgarten in Winterthur, Switzerland, where it remains a pivotal piece for studies on Romanticism and Friedrich's oeuvre.
