"Monk by the Sea" (German: "Der Mönch am Meer") is an oil painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich. Completed between 1808 and 1810, the artwork is renowned for its minimalist landscape, which marks a significant departure from the more detailed and populated scenes characteristic of the period. The painting depicts a solitary figure, a monk, standing on the shore of a vast sea, gazing out towards the horizon. The composition is notable for its expansive skies and the sea, which together occupy most of the canvas, leaving the monk as a small presence within the immensity of nature.

The painting is often interpreted as an embodiment of Friedrich's meditations on the sublime and the insignificance of the individual within the larger context of the world. The vastness of the sea and the sky, juxtaposed with the solitary figure, evoke feelings of loneliness and introspection. "Monk by the Sea" is frequently discussed in the context of Friedrich's other works that explore themes of nature, spirituality, and human emotion.

"Monk by the Sea" is held in high esteem for its revolutionary approach to landscape painting. Friedrich's use of broad, open spaces and a reduced color palette was groundbreaking at the time and has been seen as a precursor to the abstract art movements that would emerge in the 20th century. The painting is part of the collection at the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly study for its aesthetic and philosophical depth.

This painting, along with Friedrich's other works, played a crucial role in shaping the Romantic movement in art, influencing a generation of artists and thinkers with its contemplative approach to nature and the human experience. "Monk by the Sea" remains one of Caspar David Friedrich's most iconic and enigmatic works, encapsulating the essence of Romanticism's preoccupation with the sublime and the transcendental.
