As is known, The Traveler (1818) by Caspar David Friedrich is one of the spiritual reasons for this blog . That image accompanies this page on a permanent basis from the beginning, in 2007. Shows the figure of a man, his back, which provides - from the top of a mountain - the depth of a cliff, a cloud cover. The precise shape of the traveler is in contrast to the diffuse nature and impressive that opens before your eyes, and under his feet. Again, the romantic theme of the finite and the infinite. I faced the moved by the immensity of the absolute.
The metaphor of life as a journey of self is found in a number of important works of the nineteenth century, clearly, for example, Goethe's Faust, the Phenomenology of Spirit Hegel and Henry of Ofterdingen of Novalis. It is also, of course, a classical theme in the path of Homer, Virgil and Dante Algheri. Even the myth and fairy tale have the structure of the journey, the path of the hero and his work. Existence is conceived as a way of lessons to be learned to achieve the fullness and knowledge.
paraece The absolute desire fulfilled at the scene painted by Friedrich. The nature is re-sail is evident yet mysterious. The winds are stirred with their feet. The spectacle of this world is in sight. One tends to think that travelers require "real laptops" The memories, longing and melancholy are a dead weight that hurts the journey itself. Not so. The wild nature that shows Friedrich seems to be the reflection of the soul of the character. The traveler is a melancholy figure. Romantic logic Aufhebung shows that passes for romantic soul infinite taking his wealth of experience, their conflicts and aspirations. Odysseus had to battle the image of the bright jet hair of his beloved, whose name is invoked in the heat of battle. Recall also how the sailors placed on the bow of their boats the image of their loved ones, as incontestable testimony to the desire for reunion. Explorers from afar do not lose the momentum experienced at the very idea of \u200b\u200breturning to the motherland.
The traveler looking straight at the bottom of the cliff. And we should realize that vision.
