(More customer reviews)I was looking forward to receiving a good print of this Overbeck masterpiece and was shocked when I opened the mailing tube. They photographed the work
with a lens that compresses all the figures vertically!!! Granted they are selling this for just a penny, but it cost me $9 to have it shipped. What
a rip-off. The image you see on your computer screen is NOT the image you will receive in the mail.

Johann Friedrich Overbeck (4 July 1789 - 1869), was a German painter and member of the Nazarene movement. In 1806, the young artist entered as student the academy of Vienna, then under the direction of Heinrich Füger. While Overbeck clearly accrued some of the polished technical aspects of the neoclassic painters, he was alienated by lack of religious spirituality in the themes chosen by his masters. In 1810 Overbeck came to Rome, and was joined by a company of like-minded artists. They became known as the Nazarenes. Their precept was hard and honest work and holy living; they eschewed the antique as pagan, the Renaissance as false, and built up a revival on simple nature and on the art of Perugino, Pinturicchio, Francia and Raphael.
