"Monastery Graveyard in the Snow" (German: Klosterfriedhof im Schnee) was a painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, created in 1819. Friedrich, known for his landscapes that evoke a sense of melancholy and transcendence, depicted in this work a desolate, snow-covered cemetery dominated by the ruins of a Gothic church, encapsulating themes of death, ruin, and the sublime beauty of nature. The painting featured stark, leafless trees and tombstones blanketed in snow, with a solitary figure often interpreted as a monk, wandering among the graves. This figure, dwarfed by the scene, invites contemplation on mortality and the passage of time.

The artwork is emblematic of Friedrich's interest in expressing the spiritual and emotional aspects of the human experience through natural landscapes. "Monastery Graveyard in the Snow" is particularly noted for its representation of the sublime, a key concept in Romanticism, where nature's overwhelming power and beauty evoke a sense of awe and the divine. The painting's composition, with its emphasis on verticality and the contrast between the architectural ruins and the expansive sky, further reinforces the themes of transcendence and the ephemeral nature of human constructs in the face of time and nature.

Unfortunately, "Monastery Graveyard in the Snow" was destroyed during World War II, and it survives only in black and white photographs and written descriptions. Despite its loss, the painting remains a significant work in Friedrich's oeuvre and in the history of Romantic art, illustrating the artist's profound engagement with themes of nature, spirituality, and the human condition. Its influence persists in the study of Romanticism and continues to inspire interpretations and discussions on the relationship between humanity, art, and the natural world.
