Monks in a Grotto (by Carl Blechen) Card
- from our Affiliates
This design features a painting by the German artist Carl Blechen (1798–1840), who was a member of the Romantic movement. It shows two monks in a cave beside a beach. The bright sun is streaming down in the sky outside the beach. One of the monks is stand up and the other monk is seated on a bench made of rock. They are both deep in contemplation and prayer, surrounded by the beautiful but desolute environment of the natural world.
