The Fairytale Forest by Edvard Munch is a expressionist painting from 1901 ali 1902, held under accession number NG.M.02237 by the Nasjonalmuseet<\/a> in Oslo: The children stand on the edge of a grassy slope and look into a dense spruce wood. With us it is made as a hand-painted reproduction in oil, brushed onto canvas; you receive a photograph of the finished work for approval before dispatch, and you choose between ten sizes or a size of your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\n

The Fairytale Forest \u2013 Edvard Munch<\/h2>\n

What is shown?<\/h3>\n

Two boys in caps stand at the left, a figure in a wide white hat in the middle, a smaller child in a pale hat beside her, and a further dark figure at the right. Nobody is turned towards us; all are given as small, softly painted shapes without faces. The forest rises in front of them as a row of sharp dark spikes that run the whole width of the canvas and close the scene like a wall. A pale sky with drawn-out clouds stands above it, and a light path winds away at the right, the only opening in an otherwise closed scene.<\/p>\n

The title says how Munch understood the scene: the wood is not described botanically but as the backdrop of a fairytale, one the children are looking into but have not yet entered. The trees are reduced to almost uniform dark triangles while the children are painted softly and small; the contrast between the two carries the whole tension of the work.<\/p>\n

In our classification the work is listed under Expressionism.<\/p>\n

How is our hand-painted version made?<\/h3>\n

This is a painting on canvas made with brush and oil colour, not with a printer. The painter works from a high-resolution reference and builds the scene from the back forward, layer by layer, so that the transitions between tones stay soft. Because every hand-painted copy is made for its own order, no two match down to the detail; small differences in the laying-on are a mark of the human hand and not a fault. For this work we have no photographs of our own from the workshop, so you will not find any on this page; the photograph of the finished canvas always reaches you for approval before dispatch.<\/p>\n

Which size for which wall?<\/h3>\n

If you are unsure: 110 x 80 cm. The 175 x 130 cm size is the closest of all to the proportion of the original. The format is landscape, so it asks for width, and a narrow wall does not suit it. The smallest sizes belong in a hallway or among several smaller works, the middle ones are the real painting for the living room or a quiet corner of a bedroom, the largest are for large walls and rooms with enough distance. All ten sizes are made to order; none is held in stock as an already painted work. If none suits your wall, we paint to your measurements and keep the proportion of the reference; that is our painting made to measure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Delivery and guarantee<\/h3>\n

Every example is made to order in our studio in Slovenia, so allow 15 to 45 days depending on size. We ship it stretched on a wooden stretcher bar and protected for transport, without customs inside the European Union; the frame is not included and is chosen separately with our 3D application, which is for frame choice only. Every canvas painting we make is made the same way, including paintings by famous painters from other periods; we write about Munch\u2019s path in our article on Edvard Munch<\/a>. As a work of art it is also a gift, so a gift voucher<\/a> is available. The whole range is in the Edvard Munch gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
