Atelier Maeght is one of the most renowned printmakers in history, producing prints of the highest quality.

Franz Marc (1880 - 1916) was a German painter and printmaker who is known for the intense mysticism of his paintings of animals, and for bright coloration.  Marc was also the founding member of "Der Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Rider), a magazine which was run by fellow artists of the Expressionist movement.  The artists associated with Der Blaue Reiter, including Marc, Kandinsky, and Macke, were important pioneers of modern art of the 20th century.  He was drafted to serve in the German Army at the beginning of World War I, and died two years later at the Battle of Verdun.  One must wonder what other masterpieces Marc would have produced had he lived longer.  This print is an outstanding example of Franz Marc's style.
