Quay with Men Unloading Sand Barges framed Van Gogh reproduction, hand-painted in oil on canvas

Could there be any better frame for this van Gogh painting? This 19th-century Italian carved and gilded wooden frame is not just stunning on its own. It gives the painting a royal look. It shows Vincent’s respect for hard working laborers. This time not in dark colors as he used to paint peasants in Nuenen. But in his amazing greens and yellows that Van Gogh had transformed his art to. The frame has this pale golden color that is simply a perfect match with the greens of the water.

The carvings give the frame a chic appearance whereas the ageing with some wear on the gilding reveals the historic value of the frame. It was made around the time that Van Gogh was born.

In case you don’t have the chance to see the original painting in the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, this is probably the best alternative to enjoy it. And if you have seen the original this is probably the best ever souvenir.
