Hi guys,

I'm desperately trying to identify the artist/title of this painting. I found the image online back in 2003, photoshopped and messed with the colours abit (sacrilege i know) and used it for an early version of my band's website.

I'd really to track down the artist/title of the piece so i can try to purchase a print or view the original.

here's the image, sadly i don't have a higher res version and the original picture has been long gone.

[B]the original painting wasn't as cropped, was yellow/gold-ish coloured, and without the added logo/text of course. [/B]here's the best approximation of the original's colour i could whip up.

[B]other clues i remember is that it was definately a 16th-18th century piece and was done by an european artist (possibly dutch/german?) [/B]

if anyone could help i'd really appreciate it, cheers!

That would be Casper David Frederick, Cloister Graveyard in the Snow, I believe. This painting was destroyed during WWII and all we have left are pictures. If that influences you to leave it alone in photoshop land, maybe that would be respectful. If not, its a free country.

Actually you can see this one in Berlin, according to wikipedia. Abbey In the Oak Wood, still Casper David Frederick. The met has some of his works also.
