The image also alludes to the relationship between man and nature and its ability to provoke the feeling of the sublime. Caspar David Friedrich painted this landscape with impressive fidelity and yet created a mysterious image that expresses the passionate aspirations of its creator. Since the man and the mountain he is in are in the foreground, the distance to the horizon is greatly emphasized. The wanderer's place also has a triangle shape, a standard geometry format used in classical composition. One of the contours of these mountains matches perfectly with the man's line of view. In the most distant visible locations of the picture, there are some high curvilinear mountains. The moving mist close to his figure also emphasizes the man, giving a whole posed yet fluid sensation while looking continuously at the picture. Close to the man's shoulders levels, two distant blue mountains extend until the canvas's limits and create a line that directs the gaze toward the man. The line of the horizon is blurry and covered by the mist that extends through the whole image. The man is on the top of a perfectly painted dark brown rock formation, and this same mountainous land is seen far away from him, amid a sea of fog. A long walking cane is resting on his waist, and one of his knees is flexed. The man has his back to the audience, and his hair is waving to the left, moved by the wind. Wanderer above the Sea of Fog was executed on a vertical canvas and shows a man wearing a green suit who is centralized in the composition.
