* ArtImitatesArt: A common subject of this. While making ''Film/CrimsonPeak'', the costumer reportedly told Creator/TomHiddleston that they planned to base his character's wardrobe around this painting. Hiddleston complained that he was getting a little tired of playing characters modeled on the Wanderer.

It's closely associated with {{Romanticism}} and is considered one of the masterpieces of the movement. It currently hangs in the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Germany.
The painting depicts a man in a dark overcoat with his back to the viewer, standing and gazing contemplatively at a landscape blanketed in fog. Through the fog, forests and rocky ridges can be seen.
The painting is widely [[ShoutOut referenced]] and is a popular choice for covers.

* CaptainMorganPose: The man stands with his left foot forward on a taller portion of the precipice.
* DramaticWind: As the figure looks out at the mountainous expanse, his hair is ruffled by the wind.
* SceneryPorn: The painting is rendered in exquisite detail, in the artist's usual somber style. The landscape is draped in rolling fog, giving an impression of an ocean, but mountains and forests are visible through the fog, and the landmarks of Saxony and Bohemia (which Friedrich sketched in the field) are clearly recognizable. The light source is coming from below the rock that the man is standing on, illuminating the fog and silhouetting the foreground ridge.
