Melancholic Art Prints

Melancholic art prints: paintings and prints of loss, solitude, longing and grief. Most are 19th-century Symbolist works, including Hugo Simberg's The Wounded Angel (1903) and Death Listens, Fernand Khnopff's I Lock My Door upon Myself, paintings by Gustave Moreau, Mikhail Vrubel, Alphonse Osbert and Alexandre Séon, and Max Klinger's etching cycle On Death. William Blake is well represented with Songs of Experience (London, The Sick Rose, A Poison Tree) and plates from the Book of Job (1825). The collection also includes Edward Hopper's Nighthawks (1942), Charles Meryon's etchings of Paris, Jean-Léon Gérôme's The Duel after the Masquerade, and Indian miniatures of a heroine longing for her lover.

The works were chosen for quiet sadness rather than violence or horror.

The muted palettes suit studies, libraries and reading corners; the Hopper and Simberg paintings work as a single piece above a desk or sofa. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
