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 21.7 × 17.9 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 20.3 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 29.9 × 24.8 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 Jan Weenix'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 115 × 96.7 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 The Wallace Collection, London, UK. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Jan Weenix's "Dead Peacock and Game, 1707" - a painting that exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with still life and its symbolic resonance.

Weenix presents us with a lavish composition, centered on a magnificent peacock in repose. The bird's plumage, a cascade of blues and greens, is rendered with extraordinary precision. Each eye on the tail feathers seems to gaze back at the viewer, a reminder of life's transience juxtaposed with art's permanence.

Accompanying the peacock are a partridge and hare, their forms carefully arranged to create a visual rhythm. Weenix's brushwork here is remarkable - the softness of fur and feather almost palpable. To the right, lush bunches of grapes and delicate poppies add bursts of color and texture, balancing the composition.

The artist's mastery of light is evident throughout. Notice how it catches the iridescent sheen of the peacock's neck, glows warmly on the grapes, and subtly illuminates the softer plumage of the game birds. This play of light not only enhances the realism but also imbues the scene with a sense of quiet drama.

Above, a ringed plover and jay perch on branches, introducing vertical elements that draw the eye upward. Beyond them, Weenix offers a glimpse of a classical façade set in an ornamental park - a nod to the cultivated landscapes favored by wealthy patrons of the era.

The palette is rich and varied, from the deep crimsons and blues of the birds to the golden hues of the distant park. This chromatic wealth speaks to the painting's dual nature as both a celebration of natural beauty and a display of artistic virtuosity.

Weenix has created more than just a still life here. It's a meditation on abundance, on the intersection of nature and culture, and on the fleeting nature of earthly pleasures. In its exquisite detail and thoughtful composition, "Dead Peacock and Game" stands as a testament to the enduring power of Dutch Golden Age painting to captivate and provoke contemplation.
