‘Venetian Stag Beetle’ by Magnus Gjoen is a beautiful, signed, limited edition giclee printed on 308gsm Photorag fine art paper.The classical artwork that has been meticulously crafted onto a virtual 3D stag beetle base is from the ‘Coronation of the Virgin’ 1324 by Venetian artist Paolo Veneziano. In his unique style, Magnus has ingeniously shadowed and highlighted the appropriated painting to fit the form of the beetle.This piece is inspired by works by Paolo Veneziano that Magnus recently saw in Venice. Veneziano’s works exemplify the refinement of Italo Byzantine style. The freshness and brilliance of colour in ‘Coronation of the Virgin’ epitomize 14th Century Venetian taste. Magnus has exquisitely transformed the artwork for a contemporary audience.Read more about this print in our articleThe Enduring Influence of Venice on Art
