The Great Enclosure (German - Das Große Gehege) or The Ostra Enclosure (Ostra-Gehege) is an 1831 oil-on-canvas painting by Caspar David Friedrich, now in the collection of the Albertinum of the Galerie Neue Meister in Dresden.
The Great Enclosure depicts a late summer sunset over the Elbe and the surrounding land, as the sun shines its last light, spreading blue and yellows over the expansive sky.[1] The work is regarded as unique in its accurate yet surreal depiction of the sunset.[2] The art historian Werner Busch has described it as the "crowning achievement of Friedrich's late work."[3]
