Caspar David Friedrich [wiki] was a 19th-century German Romantic landscape painter, generally considered the most important of the movement. His life coincided with that of William Bouguereau for just 14 years. One of Friedrich’s most famous works, The wanderer above the sea of fog, dates from 1818, seven years before Bouguereau was born.
In 2008, German digital artist Maxbee chose Friedrich’s masterpiece as part of a merged artwork in a Re(n)union contest on Worth1000. The other element was Bouguereau’s 1874 painting L’Orage (The Storm). The dramatic result, entitled Fog, is shown above.
Below you can compare the full version of Fog with the two sources. Click to visit the gallery where you will find many more remastered versions of the original Bouguereau painting.
