The painting 'Moonrise by the Sea' from 1821 is a tender allegory of friendship and love: the young women sit in the foreground and look at their two men standing further away on the horizon. The two ships on the moonlit sea symbolise the couples' shared journey through life and love, while the demure separation of the sexes leaves room for friendship. Original: oil on canvas, St. Petersburg State Hermitage, Russia. For a brilliant, authentic reproduction, the painting was transferred directly onto 100% cotton artist's canvas using the brilliantly coloured Fine Art Giclée process and mounted on a wooden stretcher frame. The elegant solid wood model framing with metal leaf gilding rounds off the appearance perfectly. Limited edition of 499 copies. Format 65 x 79 cm (H/W).
Caspar David Friedrich's works convincingly realise the Romantic idea of profoundly interpreting and deciphering the 'Book of Nature'. The 'Daytime Cycle', created in 1821/22, also describes a life cycle in which the viewer is able to recognise childhood, youth, maturity and the serenity of old age. 'Noon': In the second part of the cycle, a sandy path lined with heather and shrubs leads the viewer to distant dense forests. In the meadows, a hiker strides towards a pine grove, while a second hiker approaches the viewer along the path. This treasure from the Landesgalerie Hannover was transferred to canvas exclusively for ars mundi and framed in a sophisticated gilded solid wood moulding. Format 34 x 46 cm (H/W). 'For over a hundred years, the 'Daytime Cycle' has been one of the main works in the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover. Four pictures show ideal landscapes reminiscent of the Harz Mountains or the Giant Mountains. Unlike the later Impressionists, they were created in the studio and do not depict the same motif. Caspar David Friedrich, the most important artist of early German Romanticism, did not simply imitate nature, but created pictures of great emotional depth. Thanks to the excellent reproduction by ars mundi, these pictures can now be made accessible to many people who can enjoy an everlasting experience of nature with these pictures.'

It was his landscapes that made Caspar David Friedrich one of the most important painters of the Romantic period. But this fame did not last - almost forgotten during his lifetime, Friedrich was only rediscovered in the 20th century, with attention now focussing not only on his landscapes, but also on an almost classic 'seascape' such as the 'Sailing Ship in the Fog': with full sails, the three-master is drifting across a turbulent, fog-shrouded sea.

The 'Daytime Cycle', created in 1821/22, also describes a life cycle in which the viewer is able to recognise childhood, youth, maturity and the serenity of old age. 'The Afternoon': 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.

The Lone Tree from 1822, representing Germany, has been damaged by the French occupation. There are already signs of positive development around the tree: The rising daylight symbolises a brighter, better future. For many viewers, Friedrich's painting symbolises a battered nature. However, a shepherd is leaning against the tree, symbolising the hope for healing and harmony between man and creation. Original: Old National Gallery, Berlin. Transferred to 100% cotton artist's canvas using the fine art giclée process and mounted on a stretcher frame. Limited edition of 499 copies. In solid wood gallery frame. Size 57 x 75 cm (H/W).

The painting 'The Stages of Life' from 1835 is a tender allegory of life and family: a family scene with Friedrich himself, his wife and his two children on a landing stage on the Baltic coast. From the front, the artist with grey hair looks out to sea. There are 5 ships on the water, one for each of the people depicted: On the shore there are 2 small sloops symbolising the children. The most beautiful ship in the centre stands for the woman of the house. Further out are the ships representing the artist himself, already fading into the sunset on the horizon.

High-quality reproduction transferred using the fine art giclée process onto an artist's canvas made of 100% cotton and mounted on a wooden stretcher frame.

Friedrich wanted to give an insight into the human soul with his nature paintings. He undertook long hikes through the mountains and along the coast and experienced man in his smallness compared to the immense power of nature. As a lonely wanderer, he gazes longingly into a vast landscape with a distant horizon. The rising sun symbolises hope, the mist the uncertainty of what is to come. His figure turns its back to the viewer and invites us to put ourselves in its place and marvel at the natural spectacle. Original: 1818, oil on canvas, 94.8 x 74.8 cm, Kunsthalle Hamburg.
