A STORY OF LITHOGRAPH

According to the lithograph "Madonna" by Edvard Munch of 1895 (Drawing made for the achievement of one of his most famous lithograph, with the given title of “Madonna”).
Just about 8 different versions of this lithograph have been executed by Munch between 1895 & 1913.
This lithograph is up to now one of the most expensive in the world : some lithographs can exceed one million Euros.
We are proud to present it for the first time in the world for republishing.
The very first prints of this lithograph were issued in black and white in Berlin in 1895.
When we have decided to go into this new editing project, we never left anything to chance..
Wiser with this expertise and experience, we have used drawing and editing techniques that were absolutely identical to the ones used by Munch.
