Originals in this selection, Symbolism, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Pictures with a false floor
Symbolist painting distrusts the obvious: a twig, a mirror, a moon stand for more than they show. Those who want symbolist paintings for sale in the 500 to 1,000 euro range get pictures that open up layer by layer as you look.
Symbolism works through suggestion. Things are isolated, painted more quietly, and loaded with meaning, often in muted tones that blend dream and reality. The picture answers no questions, it raises them. Anyone who likes to ponder will have plenty to do with such works.

Calm and closeness
Symbolist pictures unfold in calm settings: in a bedroom, a library, beside the reading chair. Restrained light with a slightly warm color temperature supports the mood. Too much competition on the wall takes the motif’s mystery away.
Know the delicate media
Fine tones often arise in watercolor or with ink, which allow floating transitions on paper. Then the questions of glass, mat, and light-protected hanging count. Check the description to see whether the paper is acid-free.
