Caspar David Friedrich: Porcelain painting 'The Afternoon', framed

Product information "Caspar David Friedrich: Porcelain painting 'The Afternoon', framed"

From 1820 onwards, Caspar David Friedrich saw his ideas fully realised in the Nordic landscape; it also inspired him to create his daytime cycle, which profoundly encodes the sequence of life with childhood, youth, maturity and longing for eternity in old age. In the third part of the cycle, the reddish reflection of individual clouds indicates the approaching evening peace and bathes the landscape in a late afternoon light. The cornfield has already been partially harvested and the farmer is heading towards the end of the day in his horse and cart. This treasure from the Landesgalerie Hannover, created in 1821/22, was transferred exclusively for ars mundi by the experts at the Königlich privilegierte Porzellanmanufaktur Tettau in 10 colours onto the finest porcelain. In three firing processes at up to 1360°C, porcelain pictures of incomparable colour brilliance are created in a limited world edition. Each of the 999 copies is individually numbered by hand and framed in a sophisticated gold-plated solid wood moulding. Format 38 x 33.5 cm.
Artist: Caspar David Friedrich
