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.

Without A Frame

Ready to Hang Canvas

Canvas prints, or wrapped canvas, are hand-stretched over solid wood like the base of traditional painting. Canvases come with black backboard and hanging wire installed, ready to hang on your wall — without a frame.

Stretched canvas combines a classic medium with a modern finish, an ideal way to present artwork for display.

With a Frame

Canvas Float Frame

We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. Float frames feature a visible gap ("float") between the frame and canvas. No glass/glazing is used - canvases have a mildly reflective satin finish.
