Poster with the painting Rue Lafayette by the world-famous Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.
In the second half of the 19th century, Paris underwent major urban changes. Old buildings and blocks were demolished in favor of large avenues and boulevards. These quickly became an important part of the city's visual identity and popular motifs among many of the leading artists of the time who were interested in depicting modern life in the big city.
In the spring of 1891, Munch lived at 49 Rue Lafayette in Paris. It is probably the view from his room that he has used as a starting point. On the left are Rue Drouot and Rue Faubourg-Montmartre. The impression of the lively, pulsating life on the street contrasts with the dark figure on the balcony.
Edvard Munch became one of the most famous artists of our time and a source of inspiration for German Expressionism. Munch's works are inspired by existential themes such as melancholy, jealousy and anxiety, but also the Norwegian nature and places where he lived.

We deliver worldwide and always offer free shipping! Depending on which country you are shipping to, the delivery may mean that certain customs fees and taxes are added - there is no duty or tax on deliveries within, for example, the EU, USA or Norway.
The delivery time is normally 1-3 working days within the Nordic region, 2-5 to the rest of Europe and 3-8 working days in other parts of the world. As for canvas paintings, we make them by hand in our factory in Sweden.
The canvas needs to dry before we stretch them on a wooden frame and send them to you. The delivery time for a canvas painting is therefore approximately 7 working days within the Nordic countries, slightly longer to other countries.
