New! Chapel in the Alps with Pilgrims – Karl Eduard Biermann – Catholic Art Print – Catholic Gift – Archival Quality

It does our heart good to see such things. We would like very much to be climbing in the mountains, and then take a rest and pray in front of our Lord. One of our criteria for how we curate our art collection is we ask ourselves, would we like this picture hanging in our own home? This is indeed one, yes, that would bring us comfort and spiritual solace. We hope you find it that way too, even if just in passing.

Karl Eduard Biermann (1803–1892) was a major German landscape painter, who often included a chapel or a church or some other Catholic element in his beautiful German forests and mountains. He was born in the early days of Romanticism and his paintings have a highly detailed, precise quality, such as this one. His later works shows a softening of style. He was a Professor of Art at the Academy of Arts in Berlin, as well as a founding and prominent member of the German School of Landscape Painting. Kapelle in den Alpen mit Wallfahrern. 1835. Oil on canvas. 50 x 61 cm. (source: mutualart.com)

** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border around the image. Approximately 0.5" wide for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14, and 1.75" for 13x17 and 16x20. For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others. Most fine art printers do this because otherwise they’d have to crop the art or warp it to make it fit the paper. The border looks good. It gives the picture a faux matted appearance.

There is almost always a little more border either on the left-right sides, or the top-bottom, depending on whether the ratio of the art is wider or taller than the paper.

We make Archival Quality fine art prints:

– Acid-free paper

– Archival pigments

– Cardboard backer for sizes 11x14 and less.

– Above story of the art

– Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal-clear bag.

– Rated to last 200+ years without fading if kept dry and out of the direct sun.

Thanks for your interest!
