Framed 'Reflections of the Future' Limited Edition Print

This item is a framed limited edition print titled 'Reflections of the Future' by fantasy artist James C. Christensen, featuring a complex and symbolic composition. The print is housed within a simple, light-colored wooden frame, likely pine or a similar soft wood, with a visible grain and a slightly rounded profile. The print itself depicts a swirling, celestial-like background on the left, possibly an Earth-like planet, with ancient megaliths (reminiscent of Stonehenge) in the foreground and a bolt of lightning striking. Towards the center and right, several historical and fictional figures are subtly integrated into a fantastical landscape, including what appears to be Thomas Edison holding a glowing object, and other figures associated with scientific or imaginative endeavors, such as a wizard-like character and what might be a figure from children's literature. A rainbow grid pattern is visible in the upper right quadrant, suggesting a blend of technology and whimsy. The colors are rich and varied, with cool blues and purples dominating the left, transitioning to warmer earth tones and fiery oranges on the right. A prominent red beam extends from the center towards the right. The print appears to be under glass or acrylic glazing, and a white mat board provides a clean border between the artwork and the frame. No significant damage or wear is discernible from the image, suggesting good to excellent condition for both the print and its framing. The print is a high-quality reproduction of a watercolor or oil painting, typical of Christensen's distinctive style characterized by intricate detail and allegorical narratives. The estimated age would be late 20th to early 21st century, consistent with the artist's active period.
