Sea of Ice ☵ Friedrich ☵ Canvas horses Played by a well-intentioned [snake]The Sea of Ice (1824, Das Eismeer) by Caspar David Friedrich depicts a vast Arctic ice floe, formed from layers of crushed ice. Although Friedrich never traveled to the Arctic, he conducted extensive studies of ice on the River Elbe near Dresden and likely drew inspiration from William Edward Parry's 18191820 expedition to locate the Northwest Passage. The painting's focal point is a tower of ice formed by sheets colliding with one another. Upon
