A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie – Joan Miró
A Dew Drop Falling from a Bird’s Wing Wakes Rosalie Who Has Been Sleeping in the Shade of a Spider’s Web is a painting by Joan Miró from 1939: on a warm orange-ochre ground float black shapes, eyes, red circles and white creatures, woven together by thin lines. We paint our hand-painted study of A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 30 cm to 150 × 100 cm or in a custom size. Before A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie show?
In A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie the ground is rough and alive, as if scattered with spots of light, and above it float birds, stars, eyes and small faces, linked by lines like a spider’s web. Miró gave it a long, poetic title that sounds like a fairy tale, and it already holds the whole world of signs he developed a year later in the Constellations series. The original A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie is in the University of Iowa’s art museum.
How is our hand-painted study of A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie made?
Our painters paint the study of A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When A Dew Drop Wakes Rosalie is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
