A really superb plate with lifetime impression, from the collection ''sechzehn holzscnitte nach gemälden arnold böcklin (meisterwerke der holzschneidekunst, neue folge heft v), leipzig, verlagsbuchhandlung von j.j. Weber'', printed in 1898 by j.j. Weber. All the plates of this print suite are woodcuts on the head wood and taken from böcklin's most famous paintings. Johann jacob weber was the talented executor and creator of the meisterwerke der holzschneidekunst series which also includes a famous folder of his woodcuts taken from the artworks by sascha schneider. Representing the idyllic scene with neiads playing in the water, the nymphs who preside over all the fresh waters of the earth and possessed healing and prophetic faculties; they are female beings, mostly immortal, while some are mortal even though they have a long life, are very well described in this artwork. This is an incredibly faithful copy of the original masterpiece '' die najaden'' by bocklin with an autonomous artistic dignity. In excellent conditions, with some signs of the time and a usual yellowing of the paper at the edges. Signed on plate on the sides on the lower margin. This artwork is shipped from italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork. less
