Questions about sizes or framing? Ask us

Monet painted this garden in quick dabs of red, pink and green, and a dull print turns them into a brown blur. Our Claude Monet The Artist’s Garden in Argenteuil was graded beside the original, so the dahlias stay bright, the leaves stay cool and the sky keeps its summer light. It is Monet The Artist’s Garden in Argenteuil as it looks in Washington.

Canvas, framed or paper

Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.

Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.

Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.

Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.

Sizes

16x12 inch, 20x16 inch, 24x18 inch, 30x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.

On your wall

It brings summer into a living room, a kitchen or a bedroom, and at 30x24 inch it holds a wall on its own. The reds and greens sit well with white, sage and natural linen, and a natural wood or white frame keeps it light.

About the painting

The Artist’s Garden in Argenteuil by Claude Monet

Argenteuil, 1873

Since December 1871 Monet had lived at Argenteuil, a small town on the Seine with a train to Paris. For once he had a house with a garden. In 1873 he painted a corner of it, with the dahlias at their peak.

A corner of the garden

A bank of red and pink dahlias fills the front of the picture, taller than a person. Behind them, the white house shows through the trees, and two small figures stand by the path. He signed it in the lower left corner: Claude Monet, 73.

Impressionism

Monet painted it in loose strokes, outdoors, the way he and his friends were learning to paint light. It sold the same year: in December 1873 the dealer Durand-Ruel bought it straight from the artist. Today it belongs to the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Read the story

Claude Monet spent his life painting gardens. This is one of the first that was really his own.

It's 1873, in Argenteuil, a small town on the river Seine, just outside Paris.

Monet is thirty-two. For years he has moved from place to place, often without the money for rent.

But now he has a house with a garden, a train into Paris, and the river close by.

And this summer, the dahlias are in full bloom.

He carries his easel out to a corner of the garden and paints in the open air, in the light.

The red and pink flowers fill the front of the picture. He paints them in quick dabs, so they almost seem to move.

Behind them, the white house shows through the trees, and two small figures stand by the path in the sun, while clouds drift overhead.

When he's done, he signs it in the corner, with his name and the year.

That December, his dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, buys it straight from him.

A few months later, Monet and his friends hold their first show together, and a critic, meaning it as an insult, calls them Impressionists.

The painting crosses the ocean in the end. It hangs today in the National Gallery of Art, in Washington.

Step into the garden. The dahlias are still in bloom.

Questions

Is this the original painting?

No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.

Will the colour look flat?

This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.

Will the edges be cropped?

Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.

Which size is right for my wall?

Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.

How long does it take?

Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.

What if it arrives damaged?

Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
