List of works by Caspar David Friedrich

This is an incomplete list of works by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) by completion date where known. Friedrich was a prolific artist who produced over 500 attributed works; however, he is generally known for only a small number of works seen as emblems of Romanticism.Siegel, 3

In line with Romantic ideals of the time, Friedrich intended that his paintings would function visually only. He was thus cautious that the titles given to his work were not overly descriptive or evocative. It is likely that some of today's relatively literal titles, such as The Stages of Life, were not given by the artist himself, but were adopted during one of the revivals of interest in his art during the late 19th and early 20th century."caspar david friedrich inventing romanticism ". designboom.com.

Complications arise when dating Friedrich's work, mainly because he often did not directly name or date his canvases. However, he kept a carefully detailed notebook on his output, which scholars have used to tie paintings to their completion dates.
