Dutch Interior (I) – Joan Miró
Dutch Interior (I) is a painting by Joan Miró from 1928: a large white lute player with a red face sits in a room full of small animals, objects and signs on a green and brown ground. We paint our hand-painted study of Dutch Interior (I) to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 50 × 60 cm to 150 × 190 cm or in a custom size. Before Dutch Interior (I) is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Dutch Interior (I) show?
In Dutch Interior (I) a musician with a lute can be made out in the white shape, and around him a dog, a cat, birds, a window with a landscape and dozens of small details that the eye discovers bit by bit. Miró painted it after a trip to the Netherlands, after a 17th-century lute player painting by the Dutch master Hendrick Sorgh, which he translated into his own cheerful language of shapes. The original Dutch Interior (I) is in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
How is our hand-painted study of Dutch Interior (I) made?
Our painters paint the study of Dutch Interior (I) 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 Dutch Interior (I) has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Dutch Interior (I) is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
