What is the name of this painting?

  • Hi everyone. I saw a painting yesterday, but I don’t know how’s it called or who the painter is, and I’d really appreciate if someone can help me out finding info about it. Is sort of a famous painting, I’d say no older than 1800s, which has been constantly related to philosophical and religious movements regarding atheism, skepticism and so. The painting consists of a man wearing a black coat, a black Bowler hat and a cane (very 1850s-like gentleman style). He is back-facing the viewer as he stands in the summit of a cliff, staring at the landscape. The landscape tries to depict a sea of gray clouds where the mountain peaks outstand like rocks in the shore. I believe the painting tries to portray a man arriving at the boundaries of the world, realizing what lies ahead. That may be reason why it has been related to atheism, since he finds out there is no god wherever the end of the world may be. I think the name of the painting has something to do with ‘voyage’, like “The Voyager”, “The Traveler” or “The Adventurer”. Please, if you recognize this painting share the info. If you’d also like to give your interpretation on the message of the painting, you’re welcome. Thanks!
