Artwork Details
Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818, Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer) by Casper David Friedrich is possibly a self-portrait, interpreted as an emblem of self-reflection and contemplation of life's path. The painting is a significant example of Rückenfigur (a rear-facing figure that is not the primary subject), which Friedrich frequently used, allowing the viewer to place themselves into the scene. It depicts a man in a dark green overcoat, with a walking stick in his right hand, standing upon a rocky precipice, gazing out at mountains and trees in a sea of fog.
- All sizes given are in inches (″), assembled within a ¼″ tolerance.

- Framed art prints are ~2″ larger, ex. an 8x12″ print's final framed dimensions will be ~10x14″ overall.
- Frames are ¾″ (black) or ⅞″ (natural, espresso, gold) wide viewed from the front, and 1⅛″ deep; frames will overlap the print edges ~¼″.
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.
