Franz Schubert’s Winterreise - the second print in my classical series forBlack Dragon Press will go on sale this Wednesday at 3pm UK time (BST)from the Black Dragon Press shop http://blackdragonpress.bigcartel.com/

Unrelentlessy dark and dreary, Winterreise (Winter Journey) is nonethelessone of Schubert’s most famous and acclaimed song cycles. Taking us on ajourney through the snow-covered landscapes of 19th century Germany, thecomposer explores a man’s decaying relationship with the world and thepeople around him through haunting melodies. My artwork is inspired by thecycle as a whole but focuses more particularly on one song, Die Krähe (TheCrow), showcasing this dark omen looming over the desperate traveler.
