Detailed description
Picture "Loreley IX", on stretcher frame
Why is it so beautiful by the Rhine river? Bettina Breitkopf has been asking this question for many years. Her pictures with their brilliant colours are a wonderful answer to this question: The Rhine, with its landmarks, its historical sights and its myths and legends, provides an inexhaustible supply of ideas and motifs. Thus Breitkopf's pictures are part of a long tradition of artworks that have dealt with the Rhine as a theme. The special aspect of her work is that the self-taught artist approaches the German rivers with colourful, upbeat pictorial structures - she shows the Rhine as a colourful cultural landscape. A declaration of love to her homeland.
"Loreley IX": "There sits a lovely maiden / Above so wondrous fair, / With shining jewels laden, / She combs her golden hair" Heinrich Heine knew how to describe her. Bettina Breitkopf turns the beloved beauty into a flower power pop art queen in bright colours.
Fine Art Giclée on artist canvas, stretched on a wooden frame like an original painting. Limited edition of 199 copies, numbered on the back and signed by the artist. On stretcher frame. Size 60 x 80 cm.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, spurt".
The giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are fade-proof, i.e. resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.
The giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade and watercolour paper as well as for silk.
