abstract = {In January 2016, following extensive restoration work, the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin introduced Caspar David Friedrich's painting 'The Monk by the Sea' to the public. The infrared reflectogram had brought a further overpainted ship to light in the work, in which hitherto only two overpainted ships were known. The third vessel is a brig, which, along with the ship placed to its left, corresponds to the composition of the study 'Seashore with Sailing Ships' ascribed to the period around 1835/37. A comparison of the newly discovered ship with the lost pen-and-ink drawing of a brig dating from 1789 suggests that Friedrich used the mirror image of the brig in this drawing for 'The Monk by the Sea.'},
