Autores ResumoKleist's short commentary on Caspar David Friedrich's Monk by the Sea is cited as a matter of course in discussions of that ever more rediscoverable painter and especially this pivotally important picture. As both men were all but totally misunderstood and rejected by their contemporaries, the writer was peculiarly qualified to champion the painter. Kleist would be dead of his own hand a year later, while Friedrich would end obscure and half-mad, and it remained for a more existential age to appreciate fully the problematic aspects of their work and lives.
