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 33 × 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 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 82 × 101 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 Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France. Full size guide.

About the Painting

During the summer of 1869, Manet and his family resided in Boulogne, where he dedicated himself to painting various scenes depicting the harbor and the sea. This particular artwork presents a striking nocturnal setting, featuring women gathered closely together on the quay, seemingly waiting. The moonlight illuminates their white headscarves, as well as the water and the quay itself. While the painting's enigmatic nature raises questions about its possible narrative, it possesses a less intimate quality compared to Manet's other works.

Manet employed a harmonious blend of blues, grays, blacks, and whites, employing thick impasto in several areas, notably over the moon. Although the overall palette leans towards darkness, elements of the brushwork are beginning to showcase impressionistic tendencies.

The presence of ships in the harbor and the cloudy sky recalls Manet's earlier "historical" painting, "The Battle of the Kearsage and the Alabama," which he created for the Salon in 1864, depicting a recent naval battle from the American Civil War off Cherbourg. This fusion of history, reportage, and narrative is also evident in some of his other notable works, such as "The Execution of Maximilian" (1867), inspired by shocking news accounts detailing the death of the Austrian Emperor of Mexico.

Notably, the strong vertical lines of the masts in the foreground serve as an intriguing composition element, potentially indicating the early influence of Japanese prints. These prints had started to be imported and played a significant role in the evolution of European art.
