The hand behind it
Karl Blechen
Carl Blechen painted light, above all the hard, bright light of southern Italy. His landscapes move from moody Romantic scenes of gorges and monks in snowy passes to startlingly fresh views of sunlit walls, beaches and parks, loosely brushed and close to observation. Born in Cottbus in 1798, he worked in banking before studying at the Berlin Academy from 1822. He painted stage scenery for a theatre on Alexanderplatz, and a journey to Italy in 1828 and 1829 changed his whole way of painting. On Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s recommendation he became professor of landscape painting at the Berlin Academy in 1831. Building the Devil’s Bridge, showing workmen rebuilding a bridge in a Swiss gorge, and The Interior of the Palm House on the Pfaueninsel are among his best-known works. Illness ended his career in the late 1830s, and he died in Berlin in 1840. In Bathers in Terni Park, see how quickly the sunlight is set down.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get Alpine Pass in Winter with Monks in a different size or shape?
Yes. Alpine Pass in Winter with Monks is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in). The original measures 23 x 32 cm (9.1 x 12.6 in).
