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 14.6 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 17 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 20.2 × 29.9 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 Gillis van Coninxloo'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 × 61 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 Liechtenstein Museum, Vienna, Austria. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In this forest interior from 1598, Gillis van Coninxloo presents nature as an enveloping, almost claustrophobic presence. The composition draws us into a dense woodland where ancient trees twist upward, their massive trunks and gnarled roots dominating the pictorial space. The artist permits only the slightest suggestion of sky through the canopy, creating an atmosphere of profound enclosure that speaks to the Northern European experience of primeval forest.
The painting's tonal structure reveals sophisticated understanding of light's behavior in wooded spaces. Deep umbers and ochres establish the shadowed areas, while a carefully orchestrated clearing provides the composition's luminous heart. Here, Coninxloo places a diminutive figure—a rustic in straw hat, his pale blue and vermillion garments providing rare notes of chromatic intensity against the predominant earth tones. To the right, barely discernible soldiers traverse a stone bridge with their hounds, their presence emphasizing humanity's insignificance within this natural cathedral.
Coninxloo's technique demonstrates the meticulous observation characteristic of Flemish painting tradition. Each leaf cluster, each variation in bark texture receives individual attention, yet the overall effect avoids fragmentation through skillful modulation of tone and careful atmospheric perspective. The artist's brush captures the damp, organic quality of forest floor and foliage with remarkable conviction. A lapwing, precisely rendered at the base of the right-hand trees, exemplifies this naturalistic precision.
The composition's structure, while appearing spontaneous, reveals careful orchestration. Diagonal tree trunks create dynamic tensions, while the central void provides necessary spatial relief. This balance between density and openness, between minute detail and broader atmospheric effects, marks Coninxloo as a pivotal figure in landscape painting's evolution. His influence on younger contemporaries like Jan Brueghel becomes evident in this synthesis of observed nature and compositional sophistication, pointing toward the fuller development of autonomous landscape as a worthy subject in its own right.
