Painting plein air views of the river Seine, the Paris suburbs and French countryside, Claude Monet spent the middle part of the 1870s fleshing out the techniques of Impressionism, and was soon to produce some of the greatest paintings of the nineteenth century. The Parc Monceau is a product of this period.
An eighteenth century park planned in the style of an English garden, Parc Monceau had recently been renovated as part of Baron Haussmann’s grand transformation of Paris. Monet painted six views of it during his career — three in 1876 and three in 1878. “In this canvas,” observes the Metropolitan Museum of Art, “the disposition of light and shade in the foreground, the patterns of the leaves, and the broad contours beginning to develop in areas of strong contrast suggest that Monet had already begun to experiment with the boldly two-dimensional motifs that would characterize his work of the 1880s and 1890s.”
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.
