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 17.3 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 19.6 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 23.9 × 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 Cornelius Krieghoff'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 51 × 64.2 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 Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In the luminous darkness of Cornelius Krieghoff's "Sportsmen at Jacques Cartier Falls," painted in 1861, we find ourselves beckoned into a nocturnal adventure. The canvas is alive with a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, evoking a profound sense of the Canadian wilderness at night. The central figures are two sportsmen, barely discernible against the fiery glow of their campfire, which casts a crimson aura on the surrounding foliage. This fire, a brilliant eruption of reds and oranges, fiercely contrasts with the cool, subdued tones of the moonlit night.

The right side of the composition unveils the cascading waters of Jacques Cartier Falls, rendered with a silvery sheen that reflects the soft luminescence of the moonlight filtering through the dense forest canopy. Krieghoff's meticulous brushwork captures the motion and texture of the water, as it tumbles with both grace and power, creating a serene counterpoint to the intense warmth of the fire.

The trees, painted with a masterful hand, stretch upwards, their branches intertwining in a complex dance of light and shadow. They seem almost sentient, witnesses to the quiet exploits of the sportsmen. The night sky, with its delicate sprinkling of stars, adds a mystical quality to the scene, hinting at the vastness and mystery of nature.

Krieghoff’s work is not just a depiction of a moment in time but an invitation to experience the raw beauty and solitude of the Canadian wilderness. The painting resonates with a romanticism that is both rugged and sublime, capturing the essence of man’s interaction with nature in its most elemental form.
