"Wanderer above the Sea of Fog" is perhaps the greatest example of Romantic Art. If not art in general. It appears everywhere. From covers of Frankenstein to Movie Posters. But who is its creator Caspar David Friedrich?
Despite his former obscurity after his death, Friedrich has gone on to be one of the most influential artists of all time. His influence can be felt everywhere from Television to Video games. The Wanderer stands tall in Modern Culture.

Sorry if the audio sounds strange in some bits. I tried recording in a new area and cleaning some of it up. But the results were not very pleasing. This should be largely fixed for the next video.
Thank you for watching.
