Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, the Three Wise Men, are on their long journey through the desert. They follow a star that leads them like a magnet to the stable near Bethlehem where the one true king was born.
Painted in real gold on handmade paper, the picture enchants with its minimalist style and likes to take the viewer a part of it. On the controlled rusted iron plate, which represents the earth, four magnets hold the handmade paper, as a symbol of the heavenly. An exciting mural - object,
which tells a beautiful story about the extraordinary materials.

One of humanity's great adventures, which people have been telling each other again and again for 2000 years, is expressed in this unusual wall object. Three kings from distant lands, often referred to as three wise men, follow a star to bring gifts to the newborn king of all people. They follow a mighty star,
who guides them like a magnet to a stable near Bethlehem. There they kneel in front of the manger and present Jesus with their precious gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh. It's a stylish Christian Christmas gift.
At Christmas next to the Christmas tree with the flickering candlelight, this modern wall object creates a very special magic. The homely sound of the bells brings a touch of exoticism from distant lands to the festive table.
The set consists of
1.Hand-painted picture with real gold of the Epiphany motif
1. Image Epiphany – Three Kings
The abstract mural depicts the journey of the Magi through the desert to Bethlehem. It is painted by hand with real gold leaf (23 kt double ducat gold leaf from the Austrian Mint) on handmade paper and is unique because only similar, never identical versions can be produced.
The paper is also handmade and comes from an old paper mill in Italy.
Christians celebrate Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings when a new year has just begun.

The image stands out particularly well against the rough background. The iron plate was cut by hand in a forge in the Alps. It was then rusted in a controlled manner in my studio. The rusting process was stopped. The plate is sealed and will not rust further.
3. Four small magnets to attach the paper to the iron plate
3. Four magnets complete the Christian Christmas gift
The tiny magnets hold the paper on the iron. They are very strong.

The application consists of genuine 23-karat double ducat gold leaf from the Austrian Mint.
In addition, I use digital elements, for example in the lettering, which is applied to the paper with conventional printer ink using a complex process and represents the computer technology of our time.
Each artwork is unique. My own techniques allow the creation of similar works, but never identical ones.
I sign each sheet by hand (pencil, monogram WR for Wonnereich, or UR for Ulrike Rainer), sometimes on the reverse. A certificate card with details on materials and technique is included.
Handwork & Handmade Paper
I create the artworks by hand in mixed media on fine handmade paper. The paper is slightly cream-coloured and features irregular, hand-torn edges.
This edge structure is material-related and gives each artwork an individual character. For this reason, the dimensions of the works may vary slightly.
The usual formats are approx. A4 (approx. 21 × 28 cm or 8,3 x 11,0 in) or approx. A5 (approx. 19 × 15 cm or 7,5 x 5,9 in), depending on execution and availability.
Unless otherwise stated, the handmade paper used comes from paper mills in Italy or Spain, regions with some of the oldest paper-making traditions in Europe.
On Iron
Upon request, the artwork is presented on iron.
The iron works are made of controlled rusted iron with a material thickness of approx. 0.5 to 1 mm, depending on availability. The rusting process is initiated by hand, then stopped, and the surface is sealed.
Patterning and rust structure vary, as does the coloration, ranging from silvery-grey tones to reddish-brown hues.
Unless otherwise stated, the artwork is mounted using the included magnets. In individual cases, the work is screwed.
Iron works are generally centrally pre-drilled and prepared for wall mounting, except for larger formats (e.g. 40 × 50 cm). These are not pre-drilled, as their weight does not allow mounting with a single nail.
Special requests (e.g. without pre-drilling) are possible depending on availability.
Note: The image shown represents an example from the respective series. Rust structure, coloration, and mounting method may vary depending on the individual execution.
