Size

Which size fits your wall

Every size keeps the painting's own proportions. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.

12 × 16 in 30 × 41 cm

Three-seat sofa, 84 in wide × 34 in tall (213 × 86 cm)

Size	Metric	Where it works
12 × 16 in	30 × 41 cm	Small and close-up: a shelf, a desk or a bedside table, or one of a pair on a narrow wall.
18 × 24 in	46 × 61 cm	Plays well with others: the middle of a gallery wall, a pair side by side, or a hallway on its own.
30 × 40 in	76 × 102 cm	Holds a wall on its own above a dresser, console or sideboard. Above a bed or a sofa, hang two side by side.

Rule of thumb: choose art about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it.

Questions about sizes or framing? Ask us

This view is all soft winter light, pale buildings and a crowd of quick dark strokes, and a weak copy turns it grey and flat. Our Monet Boulevard des Capucines print was graded beside the original so the snow stays bright, the crowd stays lively and the pink balloons still catch your eye.

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

12x16 inch, 18x24 inch, 30x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.

On your wall

Its tall shape suits a hallway, an entry or the wall beside a bookcase, and it is perfect for a lover of Paris. The soft greys and whites look elegant with white, navy and black, and a black or white frame suits it.

About the painting

Boulevard des Capucines by Claude Monet

Paris, 1873

In the winter of 1873–74 Claude Monet painted the Boulevard des Capucines, one of the grand new streets of Haussmann’s Paris, from high up in the studio of the photographer Félix Nadar, at number 35.

The view from above

He painted it twice. This is the tall, snowy version, looking down the boulevard toward the Place de l’Opéra past the Grand Hôtel. Crowds stroll beneath bare trees, painted in quick black strokes like the black coats of the Parisians. There is a yellow advertising column, a cluster of pink balloons, and at the right edge, men in top hats watching from a balcony.

Impressionism

A few months later, in April 1874, the first Impressionist exhibition opened in that very studio. There, one critic mocked the crowds in Monet’s other view of the boulevard as black-tongue lickings, while another praised the extraordinary animation of the street. This version belongs to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.

Read the story

Claude Monet painted this from the very room where Impressionism got its name.

In the winter of 1873, he worked high up in the studio of the photographer Félix Nadar, at number thirty-five, Boulevard des Capucines, one of the grand new streets of Paris.

From up there he painted the boulevard twice. This is the tall, snowy version, looking down toward the Place de l'Opéra.

The crowds are just quick black strokes, like the black coats of the Parisians.

There's a yellow advertising column, a cluster of pink balloons, and at the right edge, men in top hats watching from a balcony.

A few months later, in April 1874, the first Impressionist exhibition opened in that same studio.

One critic mocked the crowds in Monet's other view of the boulevard as black-tongue lickings. Another praised the extraordinary animation of the street.

This version belongs to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, in Kansas City.

Look for the pink balloons, and then the men on the balcony.

Boulevard des Capucines. Claude Monet, 1873 to 1874.

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.
