STAR WARS Prototype Art Print Berkey Force of Life
This powerful image of the Star Wars saga appears on canvas here in a rare prototype version, from a painting by John Berkey. This was used as a display model at Art Expo in New York to showcase the new series from the Star Wars Fine Art Collection.
This scene was featured on the cover of the best-selling 1977 Star Wars novelization. Darth Vader looks larger than life, towering over Luke, Princess Leia, and the droids, C-3PO and R2-D2. But armed with his father's lightsaber and pure courage, Luke is ready to face the evil empire, and his destiny. The terrifying enemy battle station known as the Death Star looms in the background, fooling many to believe it to be a small moon. Title: "Force of Life, Power of Death" Year: 2005 Medium: Giclée on canvas Image size: 23 x 39 1/2 inches Frame: Beveled wood with brushed silver finish on front, and black on the sides Frame size: 27 1/2 x 44 inches Special marking: "PROTOTYPE" in lower right corner Condition: Some cracking at upper left corner of frame; the rest, and canvas, all excellent Certificate of Authenticity: IncludedThis is a rare opportunity to own one of the most significant images from the earliest days of the Star Wars phenomenon, presented for the first time without titles or credits printed over the artwork. And, probably the only protype of its kind in existence. This epic work of art will most certainly be a highlight of your Star Wars collection.
