Constellation: The Morning Star – Joan Miró
Constellation: The Morning Star is a painting by Joan Miró from his Constellations series: a sky of stars, eyes, birds and tiny creatures on a grey-green ground. We paint our hand-painted study of Constellation: The Morning Star to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 30 cm to 150 × 120 cm or in a custom size. Before Constellation: The Morning Star is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Constellation: The Morning Star show?
Constellation: The Morning Star shows a dense web of thin black lines linking stars, eyes, crescents, birds and small figures in black, red, blue and yellow, spread across the whole mottled grey-green ground. No shape sits at the centre – the eye travels over the painting as over a night sky. Miró painted the Constellations in 1940 and 1941, in the middle of the war, which is why Constellation: The Morning Star is full of calm, poetry and play.
How is our hand-painted study of Constellation: The Morning Star made?
Our painters paint the study of Constellation: The Morning Star 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 Constellation: The Morning Star has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Constellation: The Morning Star is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
