Early in his career Asher Brown Durand established himself as one of the country’s finest engravers. His work appeared on bank notes and was used as the basis for postage stamps. Depicting Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos, abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos, this small painting is a copy of a similar work by John Vanderlyn, which Durand produced as a reference for engraving. The Metropolitan Museum of Art notes, however, that “Durand’s copy modified Vanderlyn’s crisp Neoclassicism, infusing it with a romantic softness and compensating for prudish American tastes by rendering the drapery opaque.” Oils were soon become Durand’s medium of choice, as he would join his friend Thomas Cole to become one of the first generation of the Hudson River School.

Product Information
Expect crisp detail and vivid color from our giclée process fine art prints. We use archival pigment inks on cotton fiber paper to achieve a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Unlike posters, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them.How to Frame
Historical artworks were produced in whatever shapes and sizes best suited the artists and their patrons, and these rarely correspond to the proportions of modern, mass-produced frames. Most reproductions sold on the web are cropped to an arbitrary standard, compromising the integrity of the original artwork. We solve this by using accent borders to make up any differences in proportion.Framing may be as simple as inserting the print into a standard size frame with the borders showing. In many cases, our customers choose to have them matted. Borders allow space for framers to mount the print while covering little, if any, of the artwork. Our images are sized to provide desirable mat widths in common frames.
Sizes 9” x 12”, 12” x 16”, and 16” x 20” are designed to be matted in larger frames, such as 11” x 14”, 16” x 20” and 20” x 24”, respectively. Larger prints may be matted in frames of equal size, the borders corresponding to the shape of the mat. Where the artwork is unusually square or narrow, other sizes may be preferred.
If our sizing does not meet your requirements, we provide customization free of charge. Please contact us to discuss the details.
