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.

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

Size	Metric	Where it works
20 × 16 in	51 × 41 cm	Plays well with others: the middle of a gallery wall, a pair side by side, or a hallway on its own.
30 × 24 in	76 × 61 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

Monet built this clifftop out of thousands of quick strokes, and a soft copy turns the grass to fuzz. Our Monet Cliff Walk at Pourville print was graded against the Art Institute of Chicago’s own photograph, so the grass still moves, the sea still sparkles and the red parasol stands out.

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

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

On your wall

Its fresh blues and greens suit a living room, a bedroom or a coastal home. They look lovely with white, sand and soft blue, and a white or natural frame keeps it breezy.

About the painting

Cliff Walk at Pourville by Claude Monet

Pourville, 1882

In February 1882 Monet went to the Normandy coast to paint and to get away. Camille had died three years before, money was short, and he had little enthusiasm for that year’s Impressionist exhibition. He settled in the little fishing village of Pourville.

What joy it would be

He fell in love with the place, and wrote home to Alice Hoschedé and her children: how beautiful the countryside is becoming, and what joy it would be to show you all its delightful nooks and crannies. In June they came to join him.

The girls on the cliff

The two young women here are probably Marthe and Blanche, Alice’s eldest daughters. The grass, their dresses and the sea are all made with the same quick strokes, so the whole picture seems to blow in the wind. It came to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1933.

Read the story

When Claude Monet went to the seaside in 1882, he went alone. By the summer, he wasn't alone any more.

It's February, and he's had some hard years. His wife Camille has died, money is short, and the Impressionists are quarrelling among themselves.

So he packs up his paints and goes to the Normandy coast. He finds the big port of Dieppe too much like a city, and settles instead in a little fishing village called Pourville.

He stays until April, and he falls in love with the place.

He writes home to Alice Hoschedé and her children. How beautiful the countryside is becoming, he says, and what joy it would be for me to show you all its delightful nooks and crannies.

In June, they come to join him.

And here are two of them, probably Marthe and Blanche, Alice's eldest daughters, walking on the cliff above the sea, with a bright red parasol.

Monet paints the grass, their dresses and the waves with the same quick strokes, so the whole picture seems to blow in the wind.

Today it belongs to the Art Institute of Chicago.

Stand on the clifftop with them, and feel the wind off the sea.

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.
