The Abbey in the Oakwood (Ancient Ruins) Magnet

This design features a painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840). It shows the ruins of an old abbey: there are human figures entering the abbey with a coffin as part of a funeral service, representing mortality and the passage of time. The remains of the abbey show a broken window with no remaining glass. The original artwork was painted by Caspar David Friedrich between 1809 and 1810 in Dresden, Germany, and it was bought by the Prussian king Frederick Wilhelm III for his collection.
