# The Guardian of Paradise [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [STUCK, Franz von]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 250 x 167 cm ## Commentary A concern for the matching of art and setting led Stuck to build a large villa for himself in Munich \(1897-98\), now a museum, for which he provided architectural plans and designs for both decoration and furniture, and in which he installed paintings and sculptural works. The villa's decoration was a variant of Pompeian style, with dark walls and the use of unusual and sumptuous materials \(all in situ\). ## Related artworks - [Amazon]() - [Cover of the magazine "Jugend"]() - [Dissonance]() - [Faun and Mermaid]() - [Faun playing the Panpipes by the Sea]() - [Fighting for a Woman]() - [Franz and Mary Stuck]() - [Front cover of Pan]() - [Inferno]() - [Lost]() - [Pan]() - [Salome]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
