Thanks.

Answer -
Greetings Cristina,

The artist is Caspar David Friedrich.

I suggest going to www.google.com and putting the following in the search field:

         "Caspar David Friedrich"

Best wishes, sincerely,

Well, thanks, but you know, I have searched and there isn't really almost anything about him.  I wanted to know whether you know anything.  But I know it isn't your area .

Thanks.

Answer
Greetings Cristina,

I know a fair bit about Friedrich, but you didn't ask a specific question.  I assumed the correct spelling of his name would allow you to find information.  Sure enough, by spelling his name correctly in a google search, you'll find over 48,000 results.

Three examples:

* www.humanitiesweb.org/cgi-bin/human.cgi?s=g&p=c&a=b&ID=19
* www.artchive.com/artchive/F/friedrich.html
* www.hamburger-kunsthalle.de/seiten/en_cdf.htm

Additionally, there are dozens of books about C. D. Friedrich:

DK Publishing.  Friedrich: German Master of the
    Romantic Landscape--His Life in Paintings.
    1999.  (ISBN: 0789448548)

Hofmann, Werner.  Caspar David Friedrich.  Thames
    & Hudson, 2001.  (ISBN: 0500092958)

Schmie, Wieland.  Caspar Friedrich.  Harry N.
    Abrams, 1995.  (ISBN: 0810933276)

Best wishes, sincerely,
