Two Men Contemplating the Moon by Caspar David Friedrich is an iconic work of Romanticism that inspired the author to create this work. The original Romantic painting epitomises the Romantic idea of nature and transcendence. The two men gazing at the moon symbolise the human longing for the infinite and the divine. Friedrich's use of light and shadow creates a mystical and meditative atmosphere. The depiction of twilight and moonlight reinforces the feeling of calm and contemplation. The back figures, a typical element in Friedrich's works, invite the viewer to put themselves in the scene and experience nature from the perspective of the figures. Friedrich's landscapes are often profound allegories for human emotions and existential questions. Nature becomes a mirror of the viewer's inner world. The original painting was also created at a time of political and social upheaval and reflects the uncertainties and hopes of the era. An occasion for the author to create a new, modern interpretation.
