His landscapes are often symbolic and anti-classical, and they carry a subjective, emotional response to the natural world. Friedrich liked to set contemplative human figures against night skies, morning mists, barren trees or Gothic ruins, and the art historian Christopher John Murray described those figures, small in diminished perspective amid expansive landscapes, as directing the viewer's gaze toward their metaphysical dimension. The wanderer of 1818 is the clearest case of that method: one man, seen from behind, on a rocky precipice above an endless sea of fog.

The word Impressionism comes from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise, exhibited in 1874 at the First Impressionist Exhibition, which Monet started with a number of like-minded artists as an alternative to the Salon.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, 1452 to 1519, was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance, active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor and architect.
