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 16.5 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 18.9 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 18 × 23.6 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 Cézanne'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 42 × 55 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 is in a private collection. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Paul Cézanne’s "The Battle of Love, I" (c. 1879/80) is an enigmatic and primal scene that wrestles with the raw, chaotic energy of human passion. In a setting dominated by vigorous brushstrokes and turbulent compositions, Cézanne draws us into a world that feels both mythic and deeply grounded in the physicality of nature. The figures in this painting are not the refined, idealized bodies of classical antiquity; they are muscular, tense, and almost grotesque, as if love is not only an emotion but a violent, primal force.

The painting’s structure is a whirlwind of activity. Naked figures grapple, embrace, and wrestle across a landscape that feels both idyllic and hostile. Their bodies are intertwined in a chaotic dance that suggests conflict as much as intimacy. Cézanne's handling of the paint reinforces this sense of struggle. The thick, directional strokes and the rough, almost unfinished texture of the figures and landscape lend the work an urgent, expressive power.

The palette is earthy yet luminous. The greens of the trees and the hillside contrast with the flesh tones of the figures, while the sky, a pale blue, is punctuated by billowing clouds that seem to echo the swirling movements below. The background - a lake or perhaps a sea - offers little respite from the action, as if nature itself mirrors the turmoil of the human figures.

Cézanne’s "The Battle of Love, I" is a work that teeters on the edge between harmony and chaos, beauty and brutality. It’s a depiction of love that is as much about struggle and conflict as it is about passion, capturing the elemental forces that drive human relationships.
