Path to the Gothic Choir by Raphael-Lacoste

Spooky and beautiful. Nice one. 

Before I red author's comment, my thought was "if only the monks were turned towards ruins it'd be exactly like Caspar D. Friedrich". So, you may count it as a compliment - you've managed to grasp the atmosphere of Friedrich's works.

wa really can feel the atmosphere so close to the one of Friedrich's painting well done

Excellent..

Fine piece, it reminds me of the spanish legend of the Holy Company. Check it out

holy eversmokes... other professional artists should pay you to stop doing this.  you're making them look ridiculous

So inspiring!

That inspires me to write a pilgrimage scene in my fantasy fiction story. Such a beautifu scene and perfect atmosphere!

If you released any of your art as a desktop wallpaper pack, this would be it for me!
Great work!

It's amazing.

Agree to what Crystal-Sphynx wrote, I can't say it better.

a place I would love to be.

Great ambivalence between eerie and peaceful - very interesting piece of work

I got cold looking at this one. Very eerie. You do a good job of creating moods.

very atmospheric

Darksouls?

i love fantasy and i love you paintigs too.

Beautiful (:

Good implementing of a masterful picture from my favorite artist

i got this picture in some art book
amazing artwork

Ha! Great!
Now that I didn't think about it anymore I found the artist who made this amazing bookcover.

I have long been a fan of Friedrich, and noticed the abbey right away in the thumbnail. Great interpretation and presentation. I am guessing you know the original painting you used as inspiration was destroyed by fire (during WWII, if I am not mistaken). I bet it would have been magnificent to see in person.
Your painting captures the mood perfectly, and the attention to tree limbs and texture is impressive as hell. Spectacular, man!

I adore the tree.

Great scene!

Have a wonderful day!

Wonderfully haunting -- makes one's imagination run wild. Nice work.

Love Friedrich's works and love this painting version - nicely done!

so pretty

Brilliant !

Wonderful!Great atmosphere,lighting and detail!

The first thing I thought of was Friedrich when I saw this, even before I saw the caption. His "Cemetery Church in the Snow" is one of my favorites, and you evoke all of its key elements with this work.

Excellent work! Deserves a DD!

omg i want to go there...
love it... good work...

Intriguing and Mesmerizing!!

really nice!

This is stunning - I actually wish I was walking there!

Beautiful picture! Unfortunately I have a confession to make... I have inadvertently used this image as a background for a portait I have recently drawn. I found the image on Google and didn't know that it had come from dA. A member alerted to me to the fact so here I am now writing to you... Here is a link to my drawing - [link] Please could I have your permission to keep it on the site? I have no intention of making any profit from the drawing, only to display it for others to see. I'll also add a link to your image to give you proper credit.

great work !!!

really beautiful!

Quite beautiful! I can almost feel the damp on my skin from the mist. Thank you for sharing.

Fredrich is one of my favorite artists too

You emulate his style and theme well ^^

Reminds me a lot of Cloister Cemetery in the Snow

I do, in fact I love it! All of your works are breath taking. The amount of detail you can put into one piece alone, the folds in the robes, the bark of the trees, goodness all of it just beautiful, and the fog on top of most of it. Wow, you concept artists really blow my mind more than any other really.

amazing...

magnificent work

the moment i noticed the tree branches and the arches i thought of friedrich! very eerie and lovely.

It's incredible how much detail is in this. Love it.

good work. Online digital painting Competition

Amazing..................................

I just added your picture to my Caspar David album on Facebook (to some extent I am also trying to trace his ongoing influence).

Hope you don't mind. Of course I'll immediately remove it, if you do.
