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 12.6 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 15 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 20.7 × 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 Martín Rico y Ortega'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 38.7 × 64.8 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 Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In Martin Rico y Ortega's "On the Seine," the viewer is treated to a masterful symphony of light, color, and tranquility. This painting, executed with the precision and sensitivity that characterizes Ortega's oeuvre, captures a serene moment on the banks of the Seine River. The artist's adept handling of the medium is evident in the meticulous rendering of the verdant foliage that lines the riverbank, each leaf and branch breathing with life.

The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the river acting as a mirror, reflecting the lush greenery and the sky above with almost photographic clarity. Ortega's skillful use of light creates a palpable atmosphere, where the soft sunlight filters through the clouds, casting gentle shadows and illuminating the scene with a warm, inviting glow. The sky, a tapestry of delicate clouds, adds a sense of depth and vastness, contrasting beautifully with the dense foliage.

In the foreground, figures can be seen engaging in various activities, their presence adding a human touch to the idyllic landscape. They are small and unobtrusive, emphasizing the grandeur and serenity of nature around them. The stillness of the water, the lushness of the trees, and the peaceful sky combine to create a scene that is both calming and captivating.

Ortega's "On the Seine" is not just a depiction of a place but an invitation to immerse oneself in the quiet beauty and subtle complexities of nature. It is a painting that speaks to the viewer on a deeply emotional level, celebrating the timeless and universal allure of the natural world.
