EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Philipp Otto Runge's "A Dog Howling at the Moon (collage on paper)" with its intricate details and profound symbolism. The artwork, measuring 18x11.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. Dating back to the 16th century, this theme has fascinated artists throughout history. In this piece, Runge masterfully portrays a dog howling at the moon, representing futile envy while juxtaposing it with the moon symbolizing virtuosity. The artist's use of collage on paper adds depth and texture to his creation. As we gaze upon this image, we are drawn into a world where emotions intertwine with nature's celestial beauty. The dog's mournful howl echoes through our souls as we contemplate our own desires and aspirations that may seem unattainable or elusive. Runge's work invites us to reflect on human nature - our yearning for greatness and recognition while grappling with feelings of inadequacy or envy towards others' achievements. Through his skillful execution and choice of symbols, he reminds us that these emotions have existed since time immemorial. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring home a piece of art history; an exquisite reminder that even in moments of despair or longing, there is still beauty to be found within ourselves and in the world around us.
