Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (also known as Wanderer Above the Mist) is an 1818 oil-on-canvas painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich.
The work depicts a man, Friedrich himself,[1] standing atop a high mountain, before a great mass of fog. Peaks of other mountains can be seen above the surface of the fog, while a range of huge mountains can be seen in the background. The large expanse of sky above the heights of the mountains in the background covers much of the painting.
