One of early America's great art patrons, the dry goods merchant Luman Reed of New York offered critical support to the careers of Durand, the landscape painter Thomas Cole, and the genre painter William Sidney Mount, and built a gallery in his house for the display of their work and that of the old masters. From Durand, Reed commissioned portraits of the nation's presidents and eventually encouraged the artist to abandon his original career as an engraver to become a painter. Still, he would not live to see Durand blossom as a landscape artist. Reed died untimely, just the year after the completion of this solid likeness. His passing was sorely mourned; Durand reminded Cole in a letter that Reed was "the man whose equal we shall never see again." The artist did not exaggerate, but Reed's partner, Jonathan Sturges, for whom this portrait was painted, became an important patron in his own right of Durand, Cole, and their colleagues.

A canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.

For our Aluminium Dibond option, we print the selected artpiece right on the aluminium white-primed surface. The bright and white components of the artwork shine with a silk gloss but without any glow. Colors are luminous in the highest definition, the fine details of the print are crisp and clear, and you can truly perceive a matte appearance. The UV print on aluminium is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is an extremely stylish way to showcase art reproductions, as it draws attention on the image.
  • Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating on top): An acrylic glass print, which is often labelled as a print on plexiglass, will convert an original artwork into magnificient décor. The work of art is being made with state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. This makes intense and deep colors.
