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 9.8 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 12.1 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 13.5 × 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 Martin Johnson Heade'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 26.7 × 55.9 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 Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Ah, Martin Johnson Heade’s "Newburyport Meadows," an atmospheric landscape masterpiece created around 1876 to 1881, is a symphony of subtle hues and dramatic light, resonating with the quiet grandeur of nature. This work, residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to Heade’s extraordinary ability to capture the sublime tranquility of the American landscape.

At first glance, the scene unfolds like a pastoral poem. The expansive meadows, lush and verdant, stretch out under a sky that broods with impending weather. Heade's meticulous brushwork renders every blade of grass, each puddle, with a precision that borders on the photographic, yet it retains a painterly softness that breathes life into the composition. The placement of haystacks, scattered yet deliberate, introduces a rustic rhythm, guiding the eye gently across the canvas.

The sky, however, steals the show. Heade masterfully manipulates light and shadow, with shafts of sunlight piercing through the ominous clouds, casting a divine glow over the meadows. This interplay of light suggests a moment of calm before a storm, imbuing the scene with a poignant sense of stillness and expectation.

The distant tree line and rolling hills anchor the composition, providing a serene backdrop that contrasts with the dynamic sky. Heade's palette is restrained, yet rich—earthy greens, browns, and golden tones harmonize with the cool grays and blues of the heavens above.

In "Newburyport Meadows," Heade doesn’t just present a landscape; he evokes a mood, a transient moment caught between tranquility and turbulence. It’s a work that speaks to the eternal beauty of nature, captured through the lens of a painter who deeply understood its ephemeral magic.
