While our artist Friedrich was adamant that there was no intended deeper meanings to his work beyond the impression it leaves on the viewer, he’d likely still find the switch from wonder to hopelessness to be a strange homage to his work. It’s possible the success of Inception led to the poster style being recreated by other designers who weren’t even aware of the painting at all. Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog’s composition on the other hand, was used so often it seemed to be the industry standard for advertising disaster and sci-fi films. There are plenty of other examples, but typically they are just one-offs directly inspired by the art due to some aspect of the plot.

Movie posters finding inspiration in famous artwork is not uncommon: Midnight in Paris directly borrows out of Starry Night, and Scream was inspired by, well the obvious.

In the posters, we see a world likely ruined by man and there's no beauty to be had. In this painting, the implication is that the natural landscape we see is untouched by man and that is part of its beauty. The posters on the other hand invite you to wonder how the heck the protagonist will overcome such overwhelming odds so you'll purchase a ticket to get your answer. Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog gives a sense of wonder, an awe of experiencing nature in solitude. While the composition was borrowed, the intent was ignored. Star Trek into Darkness and Inception are just two examples of the posters inspired by this painting. It was a simple formula: a tiny silhouette of a man’s back amidst a gigantic apocalyptic wasteland. Perhaps because it is considered to be one of the Romantics period’s masterpieces or more likely it reminds you of that time around 2013 when all movie posters started to look the exact same. The complexity of his vision is especially evident in contrast to the archaic tendencies of the Nazarenes, who experienced the incompleteness of the subject entirely as a loss, which they attempted in vain to overcome with anachronistic techniques and subject matter.Even if you’ve never laid eyes on Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog before, it likely feels familiar. Friedrich’s remarkable understanding of incompleteness as a central generative force in Romantic art gives his work its aura of contemporary relevance even in the postmodern age. The wanderer, like many narrators in Romantic fiction, is at once a conduit through which the reader or viewer enters the representation and, as an inscrutable other, a gatekeeper of that subjective representation’s alterity, which can never be completely shared. The world can only be glimpsed, experienced, and reproduced from a single point of view, in fragments, never as complete and whole in and of itself. Friedrich’s frequent use of the so-called Rückenfigur – a prominently placed figure shown entirely from the back – is a powerful commentary on the Romantic experience of art and nature. But he is also like the traveler of English romantic poetry, alive to the sublime glories of nature that open up before him during his pensive walks. He is like Schubert’s wanderer, a stranger in the world, the very icon of modern alienation. His gaze gives meaning to the world, and yet this world remains an unknowable mystery to him, shrouded in fog. This wanderer is the very embodiment of the Kantian subject, in whose perception all aesthetic judgment is born. Like Eugène Delacroix’s painting July 28: Liberty Leading the People (1830), Friedrich’s Wanderer above a Sea of Fog has come to represent the feeling of an entire age. There is probably no other image in the history of art that has graced more dust jackets of books on the history, philosophy, and literature of modernity.
