German Realism master Karl Blechen (1798 – 1840) often painted outdoors to portray his subjects as literally as possible. Pursuing art after several years as a banker, Blechen was appointed stage painter at Berlin’s Royal Theater, where he could showcase his remarkable, mysterious style. Influenced by travels through Italy, his works became more relaxed and flowing. Later, he was hired as the Berlin Academy’s Professor of Landscape Painting. Blechen was renowned for his dazzling colors and unusual themes, which made him one of the 19th century’s most influential artists.

This giclée print offers beautiful color accuracy. Giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface creating natural color transitions. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is a great option for framing with its smooth, acid free surface.

This print is the sister of a like image I have in my master bathroom. It goes beautifully with my bamboo and wood accents and gives the bathroom an high-end, classy, spa feel.

I was astonished by the high quality of this print which looks like an original fine watercolor - due to the high quality paper as well as the colors. It couldn't be better. My suggestion for improvement would be to give shoppers the ability to blow up the online image large enough to see all details without pixelation. When the product arrived, I was shocked to find there were not 2 but 3 people in the picture and the 3rd one was partially nude. This detail was not available on the website due to pixelation.
