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 17.5 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 19.9 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 28.7 × 35.4 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 Claude Monet'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 59.4 × 72.7 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 Phillips Collection, Washington, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In 1878, Monet relocated to Vétheuil with his family, where they shared a rented house with Ernest Hoschede and his family, who had faced bankruptcy that year. Monet's time in Vétheuil was challenging, marked by financial difficulties and the death of his wife in September 1879, shortly after giving birth to their son Michel. During the subsequent winter, while still residing with the Hoschedes, Monet painted a series of striking yet somber images of ice floes on the Seine, possibly reflecting his internal sadness.

This particular painting was created in early 1880 and explores the impact of light on a road leading to Vétheuil, visible in the distance. Utilizing a characteristically restrained color palette, Monet captures the essence of a crisp, chilly morning, with the pale, clear light washing out the landscape's colors and casting elongated blue shadows from the trees on the right (which are not depicted in the image). The same blue hue appears in the mist hovering above the town.

The composition, though seemingly straightforward, is quite ingenious. Four rough triangles occupy the foreground from left to right, descending the bank towards the road below. These triangles loosely converge on Vétheuil, guiding the viewer's gaze from the quiet, open road to the bustling human settlement beyond. The patchy blue horizontal shadows across the road provide a strong counterbalance to the sky's band, which is softened by the gentle curves of the hillsides and a tree intruding from the right.
