Mientras tanto, en la vida de Caspar David Friedrich
La vida entera1805
Wins Goethe’s Weimar competition
With two sepia drawings, “Procession at Dawn” and “Fisher-Folk by the Sea”, Friedrich wins the competition organised by Goethe in Weimar. The poet, whose reputation was suffering from the poor quality of the entries, responds enthusiastically to the artist’s resourcefulness, and the success establishes Friedrich’s reputation.
1807
The turn to oil painting
Until 1807 Friedrich works exclusively in drawing, chiefly in pencil or sepia, and then turns to oil painting as well.
1808–1809
The quarrel with Ramdohr: can a landscape stand on an altar?
The altarpiece is generally coldly received but becomes Friedrich’s first painting to win wide publicity: friends defend it publicly, while the critic Basilius von Ramdohr publishes a long article challenging the use of landscape in a religious context. In 1809 Friedrich answers with a programme comparing the rays of the evening sun to the light of the Holy Father — the only time he recorded a detailed interpretation of his own work.
