I think its message is certainly spiritual, but not religious in the traditional sense, and definitely not christian. In fact, if anything it is antichristian. The ruins appear to be of a gothic cathederal, judging by the pointed arch. But the structure no longer appears to fulfill a formal religious use. It has been left by it's onetime builders and users to decay. Nature appears to be in the process of filling the space once devoted to christian symbols and liturgies. Nature is the enduring, surviving force in this picture, together with the humble people in the farmhouse. Can someone help me further along with the meaning of this painting?

ARC was actually topic of my <a href="http://www.linesandcolors.com/2005/08/22/art-renewal-center/" rel="nofollow">very first post</a> on <em>lines and colors</em> back in 2005. It's an amazing site, though I often find the colors in their images need a bit of correction. Thanks, Theresa.

This site has the best links I've ever seen for Caspar David Friedrich's art. I'm finishing up a paper on this artist and your site has helped me so much. (I will definitely tell my professor and other Friedrich fans about your site.) By the way, on one of the last links on the Artcyclopedia site, there is a link to a site called ARC - Art Renewal Center. Wow. They have a wonderful collection - just to let you know. Bye for now and thanks again -- Theresa. Thank you very much or putting this site together. This site has the best links I’ve ever seen for Caspar David Friedrich’s art.
