The Sun ☰ Munch ☲ Canvas
The Sun (1911) by Edvard Munch is one of many works created in the planning for murals for the University of Oslo's ceremonial hall. It was his first major commission for a public institution, for which he made several hundred preparatory drawings and paintings over multiple years. It depicts a glowing sunrise over a rocky archipelago off the Nordic coast. Munch himself described the origin: "I saw the sun rise up above the cliffs – I painted the sun."

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years
