# Two Men by the Sea [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FRIEDRICH, Caspar David]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 51 x 66 cm ## Commentary Friedrich's people are often portrayed in a rapt contemplation of the mysteries of their own passion as reflected by water's moon-struck rise and fall, extended by the passage of time and tide. His seascapes combine intimacy and grandeur in unprecedented fashion. In the surreal Two Men by the Sea, each viewer is the other's clone. ## Related artworks - [Adolf Gottlieb Friedrich, Reading]() - [Boats in the Harbour at Evening]() - [Bohemian Landscape with Mount Milleschauer]() - [Chalk Cliffs at Rügen]() - [Chalk Cliffs on Rügen]() - [Cross in the Mountains]() - [Cross in the Mountains \(Tetschen Altar\)]() - [Cross in the Mountains \(Tetschen Altar\)]() - [Dolmen in the Snow]() - [Drifting Clouds]() - [Easter Morning]() - [Evening Landscape with Two Men]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
