Eagle Over 100,000 Acre Plain at Susaki, Fukagawa ('Juman-tsubo'), from the Series '100 Views of Edo' ('Meisho Edo hyakkei'), Pub. by Uoya Eikichi, 1857
Under the theme of Asian culture fall works of art from different countries and eras. Our collection of Far Eastern art includes mainly many Japanese woodblock prints, but also some drawings from the Indian cultural area and Chinese paintings.
Japanese woodblock prints originated in the second half of the 18th century and are still continued in Japan today. A prominent feature of these works is the absence of shadows and light. Instead of shading and varying light conditions, the figures and surfaces are filled with full color. Stylized forms draw the objects, figures, landscapes, water and plants. Like Chinese art, the aim is not a faithful representation of experienced reality, but to capture the essence of the subject. At the same time, there was usually a lack of perspective, another element that unites Japanese art with Chinese. However, perspective was not unknown to the Japanese under Western influence, they rarely used it.
The range of subjects of Japanese woodblock prints, also called "Ukiyo-e", includes depictions of nature such as birds, landscapes and flowers, and also portraits of beautiful women. These could be noblewomen or streetwalkers and geishas. Permissive, erotic scenes enjoyed great popularity in Japan, although their sale was forbidden. On the other hand, there were also images of warriors, sumo wrestlers, actors and battles. Since the opening of Japan, woodblock prints gained great fame in the West. The work "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Katsushika Hokusai shows Mount Fuji in the background, almost engulfed by the wave that almost fills the left half of the picture. The woodblock print is world famous today and still influences artists.

Ich habe den Bacchus von Caravaggio bestellt und bin total begeistert vom Aussehen und der Qualität des erhaltenen Kunstwerks. Das hat meine Erwartungen noch deutlich übertroffen. Besten Dank dafür.

2 Monet Bilder bestellt, eines war sehr schön wie erwartet und auf der Homepage abgebildet, das andere (Seerosen) war deutlich dunkler und blaustichiger als im Internet und auch bei der zugesandten Bilddatei dargestellt. Ist insgesamt noch akzeptabel, aber wir sind nicht ganz zufrieden.
Das gerahmte Bild ist sehr schön geworden. Die Auswahl an Rahmen ist besser als bei anderen Portalen, die ich kenne. Das Bild war sehr sorgfältig verpackt.
Die Auswahl auf der Website ist sehr groß und die Qualität der Drucke ist mindestens genauso gut wie bei einem anderen Anbieter, bei dem ich schon mal bestellt habe. Die Lieferung nach Deutschland ist schnell und preislich okay.
Ich konnte mir viele Bilder ansegen, die ich schon im Original sah und die da so unglücklich hängen, dass man doch nix erkennt. Dank dafür. Ihr seid mein 'private musee'. Und die Qualität von Druck und Rahmen ist excellent.
Ich habe mittlerweile über 10 Reproduktionen. Ich bin sehr angetan wenn ich meine Wand betrachte. Der Kontakt per E-Mail klappt hervorragend, schnell und effektiv. Danke!
