Painted soon after General Robert E. Lee’s surrender on April 9, 1865, and President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination five days later, Homer’s canvas depicts an emblematic farmer, revealed to be a Union veteran as well by his discarded jacket and canteen at the lower right. His old-fashioned scythe evokes the Grim Reaper, recalling the war’s harvest of death and expressing grief at Lincoln’s murder. A redemptive feature is the bountiful wheat—a northern crop—which could connote the Union’s victory. Referring to death and life, Homer’s iconic composition offers a powerful meditation on America’s sacrifices and its potential for recovery.

Which print materials can I pick?

For every art print we offer a range of different sizes and materials. You can choose among the following product customization options:

• Printed poster on canvas material: The poster print is a printed canvas paper with a nice surface texture. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing.
• Printed acrylic glass: The acrylic glass print, often described as a fine art print on plexiglass, will convert the original into brilliant décor. Your own replica of the work of art is printed with the help of modern UV direct print technology. The major upside of a plexiglass print is that contrasts as well as smaller color details become identifiable because of the subtle gradation in the print. Our acrylic glass protects your chosen fine art print against sunlight and external influences for many decades.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with an impressive depth effect, which creates a modern look with a surface , which is non-reflective. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your excellent start to fine art reproductions on aluminum. The bright and white parts of the work of art shimmer with a silky gloss but without the glare.
