Mountain Landscape with Rainbow (1809-10) (German: Gebirgslandschaft mit Regenbogen) is an oil painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich. Like the Riesengebirge Landscape (1810) this painting was inspired by Friedrich’s 1809 travels through Germany and along the shores of the Baltic Sea. The observation of nature in his travels allowed Friedrich to compose a universal idyllic landscape that is visionary rather than literal.In the foreground a wayfarer has stopped to rest.
