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 21.7 × 17.4 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 19.8 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 33.2 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 Jan Davidsz de Heem'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 70 × 59 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 Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Jan Davidsz de Heem’s "Still Life with Fruit and Lobster" is a visual feast that luxuriates in the beauty of abundance while hinting at life’s inevitable transience. The painting overflows with objects of desire - fruit, fine porcelain, and an extravagantly red lobster - all meticulously rendered in rich, saturated colors. De Heem masterfully balances these elements, creating a still life that is both deeply tactile and filled with symbolism. The lobster, resplendent in its bright crimson shell, dominates the center of the composition, its vibrant hue contrasting with the softer tones of the grapes and peaches around it.

What strikes the viewer immediately is the painter's virtuosity with texture. The sheen of the lobster’s hard shell, the soft, glowing skin of the peaches, the translucent grapes, and even the curling peel of a lemon - de Heem’s brush captures each surface with a precision that feels almost tactile. The soft, subtle reflections of light on these surfaces hint at the painter’s deep understanding of how light interacts with objects. The Chinese porcelain dish, laden with fruit, adds a further layer of luxury to the scene, reflecting the global trade networks of the Dutch Golden Age and their appetite for exotic luxuries.

Yet, the painting’s attention to detail goes beyond mere opulence. Look closely, and there are small reminders of the natural world creeping in - tiny insects and snails among the fruit, quietly pointing to the inevitable decay that accompanies such abundance. These small details, almost hidden, introduce a sense of realism and a reminder of life’s fragility, even within such a grand display of luxury.

"Still Life with Fruit and Lobster" is not just an exploration of material wealth but also of time, as beauty and indulgence are tinged with the suggestion of decline. De Heem invites us to revel in the sensory delights of the world while gently reminding us of their fleeting nature. His use of color, texture, and light elevates the everyday objects of the still life into something more – a meditation on the richness and impermanence of life.
