The Sea of Ice (by Caspar David Friedrich) Tile

This design features a painting by the 19th-century German artist Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840). It depicts a shipwreck in the Arctic. It is an icy and unforgiving landscape. There are many small icebergs layered on top of each other, making them look almost like steps. However, in the background the icebergs are crushed together to form a rising tower of ice. The shipwreck next to the monumental landscape can be seen as suggesting that nature will always be more powerful than humanity. Despite its danger, one cannot help but be impressed by the majestic grandeur of the ice. The original German title of the painting is "Das Eismeer", which means "The Sea of Ice", but it has also been known as "The Polar Sea".
