Mountains at Laerdalen in Norway

$37.97
Description

Die erste Reise Dahls in das vor Jahren verlassene Heimatland Norwegen 1826 beendete die Phase der imaginären Berglandschaften aus der Erinnerung. Die tagebuchartigen Zeichnungen von dieser und den folgenden Reisen boten ihm fortan in Dresden einen unerschöpflichen Vorrat an norwegischen Motiven. Er benutzte sie als anregendes Material wie als direkte Vorlagen, die zugleich der Auftragsgewinnung dienen konnten.
Die geschäftsmäßige Vorgehensweise läßt sich an diesem Bild nachvollziehen: Die Vorzeichnung in den KODE Kunstmuseene in Bergen (Blei, laviert, 10,5 × 16,9 cm, Inv.-Nr. 605, aus Dahls Sammlung »Liber Veritatis« LV Nr. 376) ist beschriftet: »Auf der Stelle gez: Laerdalen bey Lysne d. 24. Sept. 1826 JD. An M. Kaskel 1829. Dresden.«; auf der Rückseite: »Ausgeführt in Gemälde 20 Juni 1829«. Eine Zeichnung nach dem ausgeführten Gemälde befindet sich ebendort (Blei, laviert und weiß gehöht, 10,5 × 13,8 cm, Inv.-Nr. 599, LV Nr. 424) und trägt die Beschriftung: »13 1/2 Zl.- 10 1/4 h. S.M. 1829 J Dahl. Kaskel« (die Maßangaben beziehen sich auf das Gemälde). – Zwei Notizen in Dahls Einnahmenbuch von 1829 erwähnen Kaskel (vgl. M. Bang, Johan Christian Dahl, Bd. 2, Oxford 1987, S. 203, Nr. 600): Am 27. März und am 8. August erhielt Dahl Geld für ein kleines Bild, gemeint war dieses.
Trotz der topographischen Genauigkeit ist das kleine Gebirgsbild mehr als eine Vedute. Die treffende Wiedergabe der dunstigen Atmosphäre dieser Gegend in sprödem, dünnem Farbauftrag basiert auf lebhaft erinnerten Natureindrücken und den Erfahrungen der Freiluftmalerei und gibt die vor Jahren erlebte Impression dieses Weges am Gebirge entlang einprägsam wieder. | Angelika Wesenberg

Giclée Quality Guarantee:

Giclée printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer. The word was used to describe digital reproductions of conventional artworks (painting or drawing) or photographs.

There are at least three basic criteria which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclée...

  • For giclée printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consist of a 100% cotton base.
  • Any image that is to be printed as a giclée needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). This is to ensure that the final print has the sharpest detail and lacks any of the fragmentation that can occur with images less than 300 DPI.
  • The last step to creating or confirming a true giclée print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclée print is that giclées are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.

The Quality : 

The quality of the giclée print rivals traditional silver halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.

With Giclée printing technology, we are able to provide the best possible quality for the reproduction of fine art masterpieces as well as your personal photos. Our prints capture the subtlest of colors and contrasts, while retaining superb image sharpness.

  • We use real wood (non-MDF) for our canvas stretcher bars
  • The canvas depth of of each dimension will be 1.5" thick

All of our canvas prints are gallery wrapped. Your image will be visible in full on the front side of the canvas while the outer edges are either artistically extended or mirrored to wrap over the wood stretcher bars on all sides. Our canvases are hand-stretched over solid wood stretcher bars.

Our canvas art works arrive ready to hang right out the box! We will affix a sturdy sawtooth hanger to the back of your canvas and include in your package: two screws, two nails, a pair of gloves, and a gradienter (small water level to ensure art is hung straight).
