Claude Monet
Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat
From $100
This painting is bright yellows against soft blue-grey, and a cheap copy turns the yellow brown. Our Claude Monet Jerusalem Artichoke Flowers print was graded beside the museum’s own file so the yellows stay bright.
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 kitchen, a hallway or a bedroom. The yellows look sunny with white, cream and natural oak, and a natural or gold frame suits it.
About the painting
Jerusalem Artichoke Flowers by Claude Monet
Vétheuil, 1880
In 1880, at Vétheuil, Claude Monet painted a tall vase of Jerusalem artichoke flowers, a sunflower-like garden plant, and signed it “Claude Monet / 1880”.
The 1882 show
He sold it that November to a collector named Cahuzac, who lent it to the seventh Impressionist exhibition in 1882.
Washington
It later belonged to Dr Georges de Bellio and the Prince de Wagram, and Chester Dale bought it in 1929 and left it to the National Gallery of Art.
Read the story
Claude Monet is famous for painting outdoors. But here he brings the outdoors in.
Monet had moved to Vétheuil in 1878, broke, with a sick wife and a new baby.
In 1880, at Vétheuil, he picked a tall bunch of Jerusalem artichoke flowers, a sunflower-like plant that grows in gardens and along fields, and painted them in a vase.
Bright yellows burst against a soft blue-grey background. He signed and dated it: Claude Monet, 1880.
That November he sold it to a collector named Cahuzac. For a painter so short of money in those years, every sale counted.
And in 1882, Cahuzac lent it to the seventh Impressionist exhibition in Paris.
Later it belonged to Dr Georges de Bellio and to the Prince de Wagram. In 1929 Chester Dale bought it, and he left it to the National Gallery of Art.
Look at the yellow flowers, and then at how the background makes them glow.

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.
