Description
A dark-winged figure sits above an open grave with a green light in one hand. The gravedigger looks up from below, surrounded by snow, gravestones and the thin branches of a willow. Deep blue-black folds give the winged figure a strong presence against the pale winter setting.
This hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction recreates The Death of the Gravedigger by Carlos Schwabe. Schwabe combines precise natural details with an encounter outside ordinary experience. The historical work uses watercolour, gouache and graphite on paper; the reproduction offered here translates the complete composition into oil paint on canvas.
Made to order in oil on canvas. Choose from the available reproduction sizes and framing options. The complete composition is retained, with attention to the relationships between the dark wings, green light and snow-covered ground.
