	Beautiful, Luis. The first one is magnificent. The colours are glorious and the scale of the ruin is huge. I shall spend some time looking at that picture. The second one is a real monochrome painting. I recently saw a letter from an artist asking if anyone else painted monochrome. Well here is an example and beautiful as well. The third one is very powerful. It is mysterious and shows a masters hand. It is reminiscent of dutch paintings. Lovely. Roger

Roger Roger, I don't think there is anyone in the whole world who can write in just a few lines a better comment about the three paintings as you just have. Thank you so much. Luis Miguel G.

	Another subject most dear to Caspar David Friedrich was the presence of ships in a harbor. Here are two beautiful samples of his love for this topic. Don't forget to click on the images to enlarge them. Caspar David Friedrich - View of a Harbor (1815-16, oil on canvas) Caspar David Friedrich - View of a Harbor (1818-20, oil on canvas)

	Here is the same topic addressed with great finesse but only as the background in one of Friedrich's most famous allegorical masterpieces: The Stages of Life, painted just five years before the artist's death. "The painting is set on a sea shore and shows in the foreground an aged man with his back turned to the viewer, walking towards two adults and two children on a hilltop overlooking a harbour^[1]. The figures are echoed by five ships shown in the harbour, each at a different distance from the shore, an allegorical reference to the different stages of human life, to the end of a journey, to the closeness of death."

	Luis, This is very different. With this image I struggle to gather the scale of the figures and the ships. I think that he is playing with us here as his other work has great persective. Roger
