Landscape in the Giant Mountains

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella! Welcome to the Glaspalast! Today, we're going on an adventure to the Giant Mountains, but don't worry, we don't have to walk! We get to travel through this painting! nn This painting is called "Landscape in the Giant Mountains." It was painted a long, long time ago in 1798 by an artist named Caspar David Friedrich. He loved to paint mountains and nature. nn Look at the painting. What do you see? Can you find the bridge? It's right in the front, and it takes us on a journey through the picture! Let's follow the bridge with our eyes. See the little house hiding behind the trees? nn Now look up, up, up! Do you see how the hills get bigger and bigger? Those are the Giant Mountains! They're so tall they almost touch the sky! nn The tops of the mountains look soft and hazy, like a dream. The sky is huge and filled with soft colors. It makes everything feel calm and peaceful. nn Caspar David Friedrich wanted us to feel the awesomeness of nature. He wanted us to stop, look, and wonder. nn What do you think about when you look at this painting?
