Adolescence has distinctive characteristics; in particular, it is an in-between stage, projected towards adulthood. Recent book covers for Young Adult novels, such as Ian McQue’s artwork for the Scholastic 2018 reissue of the Mortal Engines series (2001-2006) by Philip Reeve, and film posters for cinematographic adaptations of Young Adult series, such as those for Divergent (2011) and Tomorrow, When the War Began (1993), are based on a common visual composition inspired by Friedrich’s painting Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818). The depiction of young protagonists on an edge, in the same position as Friedrich’s wanderer, evidences how adults’ view on adolescence is moulded by Romantic ideas and, simultaneously, it conveys how adolescents feel attracted by adulthood as well as concerned due to their precarious life stage.
