Wilhelm von Gegerfelt - Clam-Pickers in Villerville - fine art print

General information as provided by the museum (© - by Nationalmuseum Stockholm - Nationalmuseum Stockholm)

English: Many of the Swedish artists who went to France made their way to Normandy. They were influenced by the style of painting represented by Charles-François Daubigny. The wind, the skies and the tide provided forever new painterly challenges. In their striving for realism, they sought subjects such as the dry seabed with seaweed, as though trying to distance themselves from anything that could be perceived as beauty. In their seascapes, the artists often portrayed people gathering mussels. This task was both harsh and hazardous. It was often performed by women and children. Flera av de svenska Frankrikeresenärerna sökte sig till Normandie. Blåsten, skyarna och tidvattnet bjöd ständigt på nya måleritekniska utmaningar. I sin strävan att uppnå en realism målade man gärna torrlagda, tångskräpiga havsstränder – som för att distansera sig från det som kunde uppfattas som vackert. I kustbilderna skildrar konstnärerna utöver själva landskapet ofta arbetet med att plocka musslor. Detta var både slitsamt och riskfyllt och utfördes ofta av kvinnor och barn.

Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin between 2 - 6cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
• Canvas print: The canvas print, not to be mistaken with a real canvas painting, is a digital image applied directly on cotton canvas. Besides, printed canvas generates a lively and positive ambience. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.
