Neubrandenburg in Flames (Sunrise near Neubrandenburg)
by FRIEDRICH, Caspar David, Oil on canvas, 72 x 101 cm
Clouds of smoke are billowing from windows and from the roof of the Marienkirche, part of which is missing. Flames even appear to be leaping from one of the windows. There are no records to say that this was an actual fire that Friedrich might have witnessed, however.
