"The Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" is an oil painting by the renowned German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, completed around 1818. The painting, measuring 90.5 cm × 71 cm (35.6 in × 28 in), is a quintessential example of Friedrich's exploration of landscape as an expression of emotional and spiritual states. It depicts a serene and majestic view of the Stubbenkammer, part of the chalk cliffs on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen, which is located off the Pomeranian coast in Northeast Germany.

The composition features three figures, traditionally believed to represent Friedrich himself, his wife Christiane, and his brother Christian, standing atop the precipice, gazing out at the vast sea or into the abyss below. The figures are dwarfed by the towering cliffs and the expansive sky, emphasizing the Romantic theme of the sublime—the awe-inspiring power and beauty of nature that can evoke a sense of the infinite and the divine.

Friedrich's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the intricate details of the natural elements, from the gnarled trees to the delicate foliage, contributes to the painting's atmospheric effect. The sea's calmness contrasts with the rugged cliffs, creating a contemplative mood that invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with nature and the divine.

"The Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" is celebrated for its embodiment of Romantic ideals, including the emphasis on individual experience and the emotional resonance of the landscape. The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its profound impact on the landscape genre. It is part of the collection at the Museum Oskar Reinhart in Winterthur, Switzerland, and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic significance and philosophical depth.
