The term "halted traveller" is usually associated with German romantic painters, such as Caspar David Friedrich, to describe a viewpoint that includes another person seen from behind, viewing a scene spread out before the viewer.

Sometimes referred to as "the halted traveller", where the lonely wanderer has appeared to have been "stopped" by the view of the landscape.

This implies to us as a viewer that there is perhaps more to the landscape than we see, but those thoughts may remain unknown to us... privately contained in the mind of the rückenfigur in the scene.

El Término "Halted Traveller" está generalmente asociado con el pintor alemán romántico Caspar David Friedrich, para describir un punto de vista que incluye otra persona vista desde atrás (de espaldas), viendo un panorama.

A veces se habla de "Halted traveler", donde parece que el caminante solitario se ha "detenido" ante el paisaje (como fascinado).

Esto implica para nosotros, espectadores, que es tal vez más que un paisaje lo que vemos, que también nos podemos identificar con el personaje de la foto. Y entonces, según la postura del personaje, imaginar algo de lo que debe de pensar, y la relación que mantiene con este entorno/ambiente/paisaje que se abre delante de sus ojos.
