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 12.8 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 15.2 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 24.5 × 41.3 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 Fitz Henry Lane'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 64.8 × 107.3 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 Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Fitz Henry Lane's "Harbor of Boston, 1856," housed in the Amon Carter Museum, Texas, is a masterful portrayal of maritime tranquility and the industrious spirit of 19th-century America. This painting invites the viewer into a serene yet bustling harbor scene, where the dawn's soft light caresses the sails and masts of numerous vessels anchored or adrift.

Lane’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way he captures the rigging of the ships, the gentle ripples on the water, and the interplay of light and shadow across the sky. The composition is balanced yet dynamic, with a variety of vessels, including grand sailing ships, smaller sailboats, and a prominent steamship puffing smoke in the background, symbolizing the dawn of industrialization amidst traditional maritime trade.

The sky, a tapestry of pastel hues, transitions seamlessly from the warm glow of sunrise to the cooler, receding night, echoing the ever-changing nature of time and progress. The reflections on the water are rendered with such precision that they almost shimmer with life, creating a sense of depth and realism that draws the observer into the scene.

Lane’s ability to blend romanticism with realism is on full display. The painting is not just a snapshot of a busy harbor but a testament to the era's technological advancements and the inherent beauty of the natural world. It’s a harmonious blend of human endeavor and nature's splendor, inviting contemplation and admiration for the artistry and historical context captured within this picturesque moment.
