Artwork Details
Woman in front of the Setting Sun (1818, Frau vor der untergehenden Sonne) by Casper David Friedrich, also known as Woman before the Rising Sun, is possibly the artist's wife Caroline Brommer. Friedrich makes use of Rückenfigur (a rear-facing figure that is not the primary subject), allowing the viewer to place themselves into the scene. It is interpreted as an emblem of life's transience and individual salvation. The woman is silhouetted against a reddish-yellow sunset radiating from the distant mountains, arms outstretched.
- All sizes given are in inches (″), assembled within a ¼″ tolerance.
- Unframed art prints have a ½″ white margin, ex. an 8x12″ print's final dimensions will be 9x13″.
- 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.
