Portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche
In Nietzsche, Munch discovered a shared spiritual kinship as both suffered from loneliness, a lack of recognition, and a fear of madness. Nietzsche's work on art and physiology coincided perfectly with Munch's temperament and artistic interests. The portraits of Nietzsche offered Munch several opportunities to examine his psychological state and delve into "how one becomes what one is."

Stretching & Framing
Ready to hang
Our stretcher frames are built using premium-quality kiln-dried wood to ensure a solid & sturdy foundation. Our canvas stretchings are done by hand, utilizing the same traditional method employed by artists for hundreds of years. We're committed to providing gallery wraps fastened without tapes, glues, or any other chemicals, thus helping to preserve your artwork well into the future.

Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
