Upgrade your walls with The Sun 1909-16 - Edvard Munch - Hand Painted Oil Painting. Every fine art reproduction is painted entirely by hand, so the surface carries the depth and variation of an original oil painting rather than the flatness of a digital canvas print.
1909-16
At the beginning of December and towards the end of January the sun rises from the mouth of the Krager? Fjord. During a few minutes, the life-giving sunrays drive away the winter darkness. The powerful experience of this impressive natural phenomenon inspired Munch to develop one of his most daring compositions, the Sun, as one of the decorations in the main hall at the Oslo University. The artist said that he had a virtually religious relation to light. Apparently Munch was preoccupied with the philosophical ideas of light’s life-giving powers. He painted this monumental masterpiece in his open-air studio by the house at Skrubben. The picture’s coastal landscape almost merges with the surroundings. As one of the town’s decorative painters, Munch’s friend Lars Fjeld gave the artist technical assistance in the creation of the picture’s linear sunrays. The view featured in the Sun is the same as seen from Munch’s house, with grassy slopes stretching to the steeper hill down towards the shore. Munch lets nature provide a simple frame for the face of the sun. Unfortunately, very little of this location has been preserved. It is possible to recognize parts of the rock to the left in the picture near the transformation kiosk and the bronze statue of Munch.
Our artists reproduce this fine art composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes fine art oil painting so sought after for a dining room.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its expressionist character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing a dining room.
Order The Sun 1909-16 as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting expressionist character to your dining room. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
