The exhibition at the German capital's Alte Nationalgalerie features Friedrich's best-known works, including 'Monk by the Sea' and 'Abbey among the Oaks', purchased by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia.
Friedrich's paintings, while based on detailed drawings, are not mere reflections of nature but are visions addressing profound human existential questions, according to museum director Ralph Gleis.
