Awesome!
Terrific body of work, fan art to the extreme.
It looks more like he took names from older artworks more than he took any inspiration or style from them.
As a huge fan of Caspar David Freidrich, I must say he got the lighting wrong. The chiaroscuro is slightly off, it doesn’t have the same sun-dappled halo effect and reflecting that his work is known for. Because Wanderer above the Sea of Fog really ties the bloom together.
Awesome, where can I buy one of these?
These painting pretty much suck. Not even remotely close in style or execution to the master works that inspired them. Just a stupid gimmick by an amateur painter desperate for attention.
