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 18 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 20.4 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 34.3 × 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 Millet'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 56 × 66 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

Jean-François Millet's "The Angelus," created between 1857 and 1859, stands as a profound testament to the dignity of peasant life. Set against a somber twilight sky, the painting captures a poignant moment of prayer amidst the expansive fields. The composition is centered on two figures, a man and a woman, who bow their heads in reverence. Their simple, humble attire speaks volumes about their modest existence, yet it is their posture and the tranquility of the scene that resonate deeply.

Millet's mastery in depicting light and shadow is evident here. The fading light of the setting sun casts a warm, golden hue over the landscape, creating a sense of serenity and stillness. The subtle gradation of colors from the illuminated horizon to the darker foreground adds depth, drawing the viewer's eye towards the horizon where a church spire is faintly visible, symbolizing faith and community.

The earthy tones dominate the palette, reinforcing the connection between the figures and their environment. The rough texture of the soil, the sturdiness of the pitchfork, and the wheelbarrow laden with produce all emphasize the labor-intensive nature of their lives. Yet, in this moment of respite, there is a sense of peace and fulfillment.

Millet's "The Angelus" transcends mere pastoral depiction; it is an ode to the spiritual and physical sustenance found in the simplicity of rural life. The painting invites viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty of everyday rituals and the profound connection between humanity and nature. It is a timeless piece that continues to evoke a deep sense of respect for the agrarian way of life.

It's nice. Now I need to figure out how frame it. I'll need to match it to a framed 130 year old picture of THE GLEANERS that I have.
Kata Verified Buyer
I have wanted this picture for a long time and this is the first time I have used this website. I must admit that I am delighted with the picture, it looks amazing. Communication with the website is excellent, I received all information by email, the order can be tracked at any time. It took 6 days from the order to the arrival at the home address. I will certainly use this site many more times.

If I could give 10 stars for quality of product and service and kindness I would.
I ordered a Canvas Print of 'The Angelus' for my mother-in-law to replace the paper print that's been hanging in her living room for over 40 years. When we received the print I thought it was like to original Millet work. My mother-in-law thought it was too dark. I contacted Michael at TopArtPrint and asked if I could return. He worked to lighten up a new piece and sent it to us free of charge and express shipping!! Mind you there was nothing wrong with the first canvas. My husband and I are so grateful to Michael for making an 84 year old woman happy and we will be using purchasing our own canvas works from them.
