Yosemite Valley, n.d. by Albert Bierstadt
Canvas Print - 12122-BAL

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 13.9 × 20.1 in print therefore arrives as 16.3 × 22.4 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 16.7 × 24 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 Bierstadt'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. Printing smaller than the original is easy; enlarging a small one changes its character, so keep the difference modest. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the centre at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original is in a private collection. Full size guide.
