About Moonrise over the Sea
Like its companion piece, the evening picture of the diptych was painted in 1822. In Moonrise on the Seashore Friedrich took up one of his favourite themes. In the reflected light of the night sky, it is as though the surface of the water begins to glow all of its own accord, taking up the light of heaven, as it were. Clouds have come up and the round shape of the full moon is half hidden behind the banks of cloud at the horizon. This means that the moonlight does not fall evenly but seems to be breaking out of a gateway in the clouds, creating a magical play of light.
