"Moonrise over the Sea" (German: "Mondaufgang am Meer") is a romantic landscape painting by the renowned German artist Caspar David Friedrich. Completed in 1822, this evocative work is a quintessential example of Friedrich's exploration of the sublime through natural scenes, embodying the transcendental and spiritual themes that are characteristic of his oeuvre. The painting depicts a seascape at dusk, where the moon's gentle light emerges from behind a bank of clouds, casting a serene glow over the water and the distant horizon.

In "Moonrise over the Sea," Friedrich employs his signature composition techniques, with a high horizon and a vast expanse of sky dominating the canvas. This serves to emphasize the vastness of nature and the insignificance of man in comparison. The scene is populated by figures that stand at the shore, gazing contemplatively at the moon's reflection on the water. Their presence, small and silhouetted against the vastness of the sea and sky, reinforces the Romantic theme of man's relationship with nature—awe, reflection, and a search for the divine.

The painting is held in high regard for its masterful use of color and light, which create a mood of quiet introspection and sublime beauty. Friedrich's technique of layering translucent paints contributes to the luminosity of the moon and its reflection, a hallmark of his skill in rendering atmospheric effects. "Moonrise over the Sea" is often interpreted as a meditation on the ephemerality of human existence and the eternal nature of the cosmos, themes that resonate with the philosophical currents of the time.

Today, "Moonrise over the Sea" is housed in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany, and remains a significant work in the canon of Romantic art. It continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and its profound expression of the Romantic spirit, making it an enduring testament to Friedrich's legacy as a master of landscape painting.
