A lone figure leans on a rock while the sky pulls its best trick: a rainbow after the storm. Painted in the early 19th century, when Romanticism sought the sublime in nature, this painting, washed in Friedrich’s luminosity, captures a world where the mountain glowers, the clouds linger, but the arc shows up anyway. This is a card for weathering it all. For friends who know that beauty can be dazzling and heavy all at once.
