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 16.8 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 19.2 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 39.7 × 51.2 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 Manet'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 120 × 154 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 Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich, Germany. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"Lunch in the Studio" stands as one of Manet's most enigmatic paintings. While a narrative is hinted at, it remains unclear, and the only indication of the studio in the title is the props placed on a chair.

The main focus lies on the boy, who appears to be preparing to leave and pays no attention to the other figures present. The lunch itself - the partially peeled lemon, reminiscent of Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) and 17th-century Dutch still-life paintings, the half-filled wine glass, and the gleaming coffee cup - captures the viewer's gaze and reflects a characteristic found in many of Manet's compositions. In the dimness on the left, a pot and an ivory-handled sword shine. A black cat washes itself, adding a touch of humor and establishing a visual connection with the boy's jacket, reminiscent of the dog in "The Balcony" (1868-69) - an animated element within an otherwise static scene.

Once again, Manet employs a palette predominantly composed of grays, blacks, and whites, punctuated by occasional splashes of color. Similar to "The Balcony," an interplay of triangles serves to unify the composition. Triangles emerge through the arrangement of the figures - the boy, woman, and weaponry - along with the bright patches of the man's hand, the boy's face, and the ivory handle. Additionally, a flattened triangle is formed by the handle, plant pot, and the length of the tablecloth, while an upward-tilting triangle is created by the pot, the handle, and the boy's face.

The influence of photography is evident in the figure cut off on the right, introducing a snapshot-like effect that contrasts with the otherwise static quality of the scene.
