About the artwork:

A still landscape lies under a pale moon, with a stream running through grass and reeds. Above the water and the meadow a ribbon of translucent female figures passes, blending into the mist and joined in a wide ring dance. Some keep a face, others dissolve into vapor, and one leans toward the water.

In Swedish tradition that low meadow mist is called älvdans, the dance of the fairies. The älvor lived in hills, forests and shores and were not harmless; they were said to cause illness in anyone who crossed their path. The painting holds both readings: morning mist taking form, and dancers melting back into the air. It looks peaceful at first, and less innocent when one remembers that it was wise to stay away from their dance. Malmström painted the work in 1866, when Nordic artists looked to folklore.

Customer photo review of Wanderer above the Sea of Fog | Caspar David Friedrich | 1818

There was a bit of a wait for the pictures but it was worth it. The production quality of the print was far higher than purchases I have made from other vendors. It's sturdier, clearer & the price was fair. The piece itself is in my basement. As you come down the steps it hangs on the opposite wall. Despite ordering a smaller print it commands the most attention in the room. I absolutely love this piece.

Customer photo review of Daniel's Answer to the King | Briton Rivière | 1890

I have the other Daniel painting also, the one where he is entering the lion's den. My daughter liked it so much, that I lent it to her, not sure I'd ever get it back so ordered this one. Keep it in the blue bedroom we use for visitors, always sparks a conversion. Just love it !

Well. This Image is more jpeg like than i would prefer. I never seen the original in the louvre, but I think it could be better. Especially for 300 euros.
