About the painting
The Turkeys by Claude Monet
Montgeron, 1877
The collector Ernest Hoschedé asked Claude Monet for four large paintings for the round salon of his château at Montgeron. This is one of them.
Turkeys on the lawn
White turkeys strut across the lawn in front of the château, one cut off by the edge of the canvas. Hoschedé went bankrupt the next year, and the panels were never hung.
Paris
It was shown at the third Impressionist exhibition in 1877 and is now in the Musée d’Orsay.
Read the story
White turkeys with red heads strut across a green lawn. Behind them, through the trees, stands the pale front of a château.
In 1876 the collector Ernest Hoschedé invited Claude Monet to his Château de Rottembourg, at Montgeron.
He asked for four large paintings to decorate the round salon of the house. This is one of them, nearly two metres square.
Monet painted it from the lower part of the park. One turkey, on the right, has its neck cut off by the edge of the canvas.
In 1877 he showed it at the third Impressionist exhibition.
But Hoschedé went bankrupt. The next year he had to sell the house and the paintings, and the panels never reached their salon.
It was there, at Montgeron, that Monet met Hoschedé's wife, Alice. Many years later, in 1892, she became his second wife.
The idea of a room filled with his paintings stayed with him for the rest of his life. It came true at last with the Water Lilies.
Look at the turkey on the edge, and then at the château.
The Turkeys. Claude Monet, 1877.

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.
