Claude Monet
Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat
From $100
This sea is all soft blues with one band of gold, and a flat copy turns it grey. Our Monet low tide at Pourville print was graded against the Cleveland Museum of Art’s own photograph, so the water stays blue, the cliff stays warm and its reflection still shimmers.
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.
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.
Its calm blues suit a bedroom, a bathroom or a living room by the sea. They look lovely with white, sand and soft grey, and a white or natural frame keeps it fresh.
About the painting
In February 1882 Monet went to the Normandy coast. He found the port of Dieppe too much like a city and settled in Pourville, a fishing village with a boardwalk, a broad beach and tall cliffs.
He wrote that the village itself was nothing special, but he loved the landscape: one could not be any closer to the sea than I am, he said, on the pebbled beach itself, and the waves beat at the foot of the house.
He stayed in a small hotel, like the houses at the foot of the cliff on the right. Here the tide is out and the cliff lies reflected in the still water. It has belonged to the Cleveland Museum of Art since 1947.
Claude Monet once said he couldn't have been any closer to the sea. This is what he saw from his door.
It's the spring of 1882. Monet has come to the Normandy coast to paint. He finds the port of Dieppe too much like a city, so he moves along the shore to a little fishing village called Pourville.
There's a boardwalk, a wide beach and tall cliffs. The village itself, he writes, is nothing special. But the landscape is something else.
He stays in a small hotel right on the beach.
One could not be any closer to the sea than I am, he writes. On the pebbled beach itself, and the waves beat at the foot of the house.
Here, though, the waves are quiet. The tide is out. A golden cliff rises on the far side of the bay, and its reflection lies across the still blue water in a long band of gold.
On the right, at the foot of the cliff, you can see little houses, like the hotel where he was staying.
Today the painting belongs to the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Stand on the pebbles with him, and wait for the tide to turn.
Low Tide at Pourville. Claude Monet, 1882.
Faithful to the original, and made to be felt on your wall.
We compare every work with the original as we grade it, keeping the artist’s colours true while bringing back their depth and glow. Every mark stays the artist’s own.
Printed to order on cotton canvas or fine art paper, then framed if you chose a frame, in 1 to 3 business days.
It arrives 5 to 12 business days later, tracked and free anywhere in the US. Framed pieces come ready to hang.
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.
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.
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.
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.
