Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 18.7 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 21 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 30.5 × 35.4 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Barend Cornelis Koekkoek's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 134 × 157 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Netherlands. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"Oak Forest" by Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. This 1856 canvas is a feast of sylvan splendor - a lush, leafy dreamscape that practically rustles with life.

Koekkoek's mastery of light is on full display. Dappled sunbeams filter through the dense canopy, creating a dance of golden highlights and cool shadows. The oaks dominate the scene, their gnarled trunks and twisting branches reaching skyward like nature's cathedral.

In the foreground, a babbling brook cuts through the forest floor, its crystalline waters reflecting hints of blue sky. A dirt path meanders alongside, drawing the eye deeper into the wooded realm. Tiny figures - travelers on foot and in horse-drawn carts - provide scale and a touch of human drama.

The palette is rich yet restrained. Verdant greens in countless shades dominate, from mossy forest floor to sun-kissed treetops. Earthy browns of bark and soil anchor the composition, while touches of ochre and russet hint at autumn's approach.

Koekkoek's technique is meticulous, almost photorealistic in its detail. Yet there's a romantic softness to the scene - a dreamy quality that elevates it beyond mere reportage. The composition is cleverly balanced, with the massive oaks framing glimpses of luminous sky.

This isn't just a pretty picture - it's a love letter to the untamed wilderness, a celebration of nature's enduring majesty. In Koekkoek's expert hands, these ancient oaks become characters in their own right - silent sentinels with stories to tell, if only we'd listen.
