Talk:Mountain Landscape with Rainbow

I translated this page from the Spanish wikipedia article on the same painting. My Spanish is quite elementary, so feel free to correct my rendition or add to the page.  Litho  derm  16:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Alterations of word choices
I made two changes to the article. Firstly I removed the words "universal, idyllic" from the sentence "...allowed Friedrich to compose a universal, idyllic landscape that is visionary rather than literal." I did this because the meaning of the word "universal" is undefined in this context and the word "idyllic" is inaccurate. "Idyllic" means "peaceful, picturesque, Arcadian," whereas this landscape is a conflicted mixture of both benevolent and malevolent elements.

Secondly I changed the word "moonbow" to "rainbow." The position of the rainbow to the sun and moon makes it impossible for it to be a moondbow; the moon would have to be behind the viewer—outside the picture plane—in order to illuminate a moonbow. Andrew3024 (talk) 02:36, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
