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 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 18.4 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 35 × 47.2 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 Alfred Sisley'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 60 × 81 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

Alfred Sisley's "The Flood at Port-Marly, 1876" - a canvas that whispers of nature's capricious moods and humanity's tenuous foothold.

Sisley presents us with a drowned world. The Seine has burst its banks, transforming the familiar streets of Port-Marly into a sodden dreamscape. A stout house commands our attention, its blue shutters a defiant splash of color against the pervasive grays. Trees stand sentinel, their bare branches etched against a brooding sky.

The artist's technique is quintessentially Impressionist - swift, assured brushstrokes capture the play of light on water, the texture of weathered stone, the hazy outlines of distant buildings. Yet there's a measured quality to Sisley's work, a careful observation that sets him apart from some of his more exuberant contemporaries.

Sisley's palette is restrained, dominated by silvery grays and muted earth tones. But look closely - you'll find touches of warmth in the ochre walls, hints of green in the distant foliage. The water itself is a marvel of subtle color shifts, reflecting sky and stone in equal measure. It's as if Sisley is reminding us that even in moments of upheaval, beauty persists.

The composition is masterful in its simplicity. Vertical elements - buildings, trees, mooring posts - provide structure, while the horizontal expanse of floodwater creates a sense of vast, eerie calm. It's a painting that invites contemplation, asking us to consider our place in a world where nature's power can transform the familiar into the extraordinary at a moment's notice.
