"The Morning" (German: "Der Morgen") is the second version of a series of four times of the day paintings by the German Romantic artist Philipp Otto Runge, created around 1808-1809. This work is part of Runge's ambitious project to depict the times of the day allegorically, reflecting the unity of nature, art, and the divine. "The Morning" is a prime example of Runge's innovative approach to color theory and his attempt to explore the spiritual and symbolic aspects of art.

The painting is characterized by its luminous quality and the use of light to symbolize the awakening of life. Runge's composition is rich with symbolic elements, including figures that represent various stages of human life and the natural cycle. The central image is often interpreted as an allegory of birth and renewal, with the rising sun heralding the start of a new day. The detailed rendering of plants and flowers in the foreground further emphasizes the theme of rebirth and the interconnectedness of all living things.

Runge's work on "The Morning" and the other times of the day was influenced by his correspondence with the German writer and statesman Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was also deeply interested in color theory and natural philosophy. Although the complete series was never finished due to Runge's untimely death at the age of 33, "The Morning" remains a significant piece that showcases the artist's visionary approach to Romantic symbolism and his profound understanding of nature's cycles.

Today, "The Morning" is recognized as a masterpiece of early German Romanticism and is studied for its innovative use of color and form, as well as its philosophical and poetic content. The painting is housed in the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany, and continues to be an important work for scholars interested in Romantic art and the development of symbolism in European painting.
