1835, Julius von Leypold, Wanderer in the Storm -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Many Romantic paintings feature a wanderer who journeys through nature in search of insight, solace, and new possibilities. Here, the stormy autumn weather, ruined wall, and empty wayside altar imply that the traveler's path will be difficult. Leypold, part of a younger generation of Dresden artists who gravitated to [Caspar David] Friedrich and Johan Christian Dahl in the 1820s, specialized in melancholy landscape scenes.
