Fosse… anche l’unico canto libero di Ophelia lasciami sfumare così infiorata di mia follia in assolo del fato che mi trascina via... ~ Catherine La Rose© ~ Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor Heyser was a German painter from Gnoien/Dresden. He began studying at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts under Leon Pohle and Paul Mohn. After initially spending three years in Dresden, he attended the Kunsthochschule in Karlsruhe and then the Académie Julian in Paris. After completing his studies Heyser devoted himself mainly to portraits and historical paintings. Among the portrayed were numerous prominent figures such as Prince Regent Albrecht of Braunschweig, Prince Albrecht of Prussia and Prince Johann Georg of Saxony. In addition, Heyser created genre pictures, whose representations were based on German poetry, for example, "The Fisherman" after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1886).

Auguste Toulmouche’s 1866 painting “The Hesitant Fiancée” is making the rounds on TikTok FYPs across the globe, inviting women of all ages to not only marvel at and meme-ify the bride’s pissed off scowl, but see themselves in it, too.
A curious oil painting by artist Erik Thor Sandberg. In the “personal interests” section on his Facebook page, Quantico, Virginia-based artist Erik Thor Sandberg includes the following “things”: dead things; naked things; vintage things; antique things; disturbingly cute things, and acutely disturbing things. All of which rather accurately describe Sandberg’s art, which borders on the genre of Magic Realism. The term was first used by art historian and photographer Franz Roh to identify artists operating within that realm following the Post-Expressionism period, a term used to describe artistic movements that occurred following WWI, which was also coined by Roh. If this is at all confusing to you, that’s okay. Let’s just say that the calling card of an artist associated with Magic Realism includes the incorporation of realistic images and scenarios into fantasy-based situations. Which is exactly what Sandberg excels at—creating beautifully weird and deeply disturbing paintings of people in peril or impossibly bizarre, often erotic-themed situations. Sandberg’s nudes are uncompromising and at times preposterously proportioned. Perhaps they are missing a limb or trapped in an impossible-looking contraption or circumstance. His work also possesses distinct dream-like qualities—or perhaps more accurately a nightmare that...

If you have a stair wall to decorate, then it is obvious that your abode has a stair, which means that you are moving up in life (pun intended). Having a stair and thereby a stair wall adjacent to the stairs is definitely an uplifting thought (there is that pun again). Jokes apart, the stair wall decoration is a joy to do given the location of the area you are decorating on. You can always decorate this area with photos of the family but if you want to be adventurous, then go with useful and creative DIY ideas to try and make things interesting.

Francisco Pradilla Ortiz : Bailarina en el dia de su Debut (1918) Canvas Gallery Wrapped Giclee Wall Art Print (D6040) Types: ➤Archival Paper Print (rolled) ➤Canvas Print, Gallery wrapped (mirrored edges) on 2cm depth pine wooden frame (stretched), rolled in a tube, or framed (wood floater frame). Options: ➤Archival Paper Print (rolled) ➤Rolled Canvas Print ➤Stretched and Ready to Hang 1 Panel Canvas Print ➤Stretched and Ready to Hang 3 Panel Canvas Print ➤Canvas in Black, Brown or White Wood Floating Frame (2'' | 5cm thick) ★★★WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A ROLLED CANVAS PRINT AND AN ARCHIVAL PAPER PRINT? ★★★ Whereas our canvas prints come with that typical characteristic texture own to canvas, our archival paper prints come on cotton rag paper without texture. A rolled canvas print is normally stretched on wood stretcher bars, whereas archival paper prints are not. Additionally, a stretched canvas can be framed, but it doesn't need to be. Thus, our rolled canvas prints come in their advertized size + mirrored edges by default for easy stretching. Prefer a cut to size rolled canvas print instead, because you want to frame it in a traditional fine art frame behind glass? Then just type ''cut to size'' in our personalization box (listing top right ''add your personalization''). Note that our rolled canvas prints do not come with stretcher bars or frames. Either take it to your local framer, or stretch/frame it yourself. Other sizes than listed in our drop-down menu available upon request! Have something in mind that you don't see in our shop?
