Carl Spitzweg: Picture 'The Poor Poet' (1839), framed

Product information "Carl Spitzweg: Picture 'The Poor Poet' (1839), framed"

Symbolising the German poet and thinker: 'The Poor Poet'. No other work of art by Spitzweg enjoys such great popularity to this day. A survey showed that 'The Poor Poet' - right after Leonardo da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' - is one of the Germans' favourite paintings, and Spitzweg has staged the image of the poet concentrating solely on the spiritual in a prototypical way here: Equipped against the cold with a blanket, a worn jacket and a sleeping cap and protected by an umbrella against the ingress of rainwater, he devotes himself unperturbed to his work. Original: Neue Pinakothek, Munich. Brilliant reproduction in fine art giclée process directly on artist's canvas, mounted on a stretcher frame. Limited edition of 499 copies, with numbering and certificate on the reverse. In an exquisite handcrafted solid wood studio frame in antique platinum with reddish brown. Format 57 x 69 cm (H/W).
Artist: Carl Spitzweg
