Contemplating the Moon

Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon (1824, Mann und Frau in Betrachtung des Mondes) by Caspar David Friedrich depicts a woman and man in a forest at night. The woman rests her hand on the man's shoulder as they observe the waxing moon. Friedrich makes use of Rückenfigur (a rear-facing figure that is not the primary subject), allowing the viewer to place themselves into the scene as either of the two, or perhaps as the large uprooted tree standing as a third figure in the moonlight.

Framed Art Prints

We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.

Frames are solid wood, ready to hang with kraft paper backing and hanging wire installed.

Giclée Prints

Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.

Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
