Lilly Martin Spencer, 1851 - Conversation Piece - fine art print

What does the curator team of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art state about the 19th century artwork from the painter Lilly Martin Spencer? (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

The only American woman painter of note in the antebellum period, Spencer specialized in domestic scenes. She used herself and her husband as models in many of her narrative works, including this one. The setting for the family group is likely the artist’s parlor. Many of the small objects decorating her room, such as the Limoges compote and the Carcel lamp, illustrate the taste of the time as well as Spencer’s French heritage.

In 1851 Lilly Martin Spencer made the artwork titled "Conversation Piece". The 160 years old masterpiece was made with the size: 28 5/16 x 22 5/8 in (71,9 x 57,5 cm). Oil on canvas was applied by the American painter as the technique for the piece of art. It forms part of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art's art collection, which is one of the world's largest and finest art museums, which includes more than two million works of art spanning five thousand years of world culture, from prehistory to the present and from every part of the globe..

The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all types of walls.

The poster print is used for putting the art replica with a personal frame.
