Dolmen in snow

"Cairn in Snow," also known as "Dolmen in the snow," is a landscape painting by the German artist Caspar David Friedrich, created around 1807. Featured on a 61-by-80-centimetre canvas, it exemplifies Romanticism with its melancholic mood and allegorical themes. The composition depicts leafless winter trees and a stone cairn or dolmen set amidst the snow-covered hilltop, with the trees appearing haunting and spectral, emphasizing the sublime beauty and introspective atmosphere characteristic of Friedrich's oil painting. It has been housed in the Galerie Neue Meister in Dresden since 1905.
