Flying Devil - Rudolf von Seitz Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

A fat devil has kicked off from a chimney, and the village below has no idea. Flying Devil catches him mid-launch from underneath, his belly a flesh-toned moon hung over rust red roof tiles.

Rudolf von Seitz painted ceilings and a church apse in Munich, and Flying Devil borrows their trick. Tilt your head back. The cherub of every Rococo vault has gone to seed. He is a bearded putto now, horned and hairy to the knees, and he steers through wind by a fistful of his own tail.

The Munich painter built his flying devil as a pen and ink drawing first. Short curls of lampblack cross-hatching sprout over chest and thigh, a pelt grown one hair at a time in the manner of a German Renaissance woodcut. Watercolor wash came second, moss green soaking the bat wings until they sag with weather. A coiled ram’s horn sits above his pointed ear. He glances down, smug.

Old devil folklore kept the chimney as his private door, the sooty way out of a sleeping house. Seitz, a fixture of 19th-century German art, turns that fear into caricature: a grotesque too well fed to scare the neighbors. Slate gray cloud rakes the sky. Beneath that dangling foot a whitewashed gable keeps two windows shut. Under his claws the rooftops hold still, and the storm has a landlord now.
