A little help choosing
Choosing your Marc painting
Blue Horse I makes an immediate impression with its upright blue figure against red, green and yellow hills. The lowered head and broad curves give the animal a quiet presence, while the surrounding colours keep the composition lively. Its tall shape suits a different space from the wide format of Dog Lying in the Snow.
In the latter, a resting dog fills the foreground, with cream, green and yellow tones in its coat and blue shadows across the snow. It offers a gentler subject without losing Marc’s expressive colour. Think about whether you want a single upright figure or a composition that stretches across the wall, then compare the overall palette with your room.
Size and framing
Marc’s compositions range from tall animal portraits to broad landscapes and near-square scenes. Compare the listed sizes for our fine art reproductions, allowing room around the painting for its frame. We can also quote for a custom size that preserves the full composition and its proportions.
Our frames are handmade to order. Choose a frame moulding and colour finish to complement the painting and your room, from antique gold or silver to contemporary painted finishes, including actual Farrow & Ball shades. We can help shortlist suitable combinations.
After discussing suitable sizes and prices, we can prepare a free room mock-up so you can compare the painting’s scale and proposed framing in your own space.

About Franz Marc
German Expressionist painter and co-founder of Der Blaue Reiter, 1880–1916
Franz Marc placed animals at the centre of a new approach to painting. Born in Munich, he studied at the city’s art academy before travelling to Paris, where the work of Van Gogh and Gauguin helped broaden his understanding of colour. Horses, deer and other creatures became a way to explore a spiritual connection between living things and their surroundings.
Marc formed a close friendship with August Macke and found a shared purpose with Wassily Kandinsky. In 1911, Marc and Kandinsky exhibited under the name Der Blaue Reiter, or The Blue Rider; their influential almanac followed in 1912. They looked beyond faithful description towards the expressive possibilities of colour and form.
After meeting Robert Delaunay in Paris, Marc developed increasingly fragmented compositions. Recognisable animals remained within many paintings, while others moved towards abstraction. His intense blues, reds and yellows were intended to carry emotional and symbolic meaning. Marc died near Verdun in 1916 while serving in the First World War, leaving a body of work created over a remarkably short career.
