John Frederick Kensett, 1869 - Lake George - fine art print

Additional information on the original artwork by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Kensett visited Lake George in the Adirondacks on numerous occasions and made many studies of the area (see also 74.7, 74.11, 74.20). This painting is Kensett's largest and most accomplished treatment of the subject, as well as a fine example of his mature style. He has taken considerable liberties with the topography in composing the work, but certain specific sites can be identified. Kensett's vantage point was probably from Crown Island, off Bolton Landing on the west shore, looking across the lake northeast toward the Narrows. The distance has been substantially reduced in the representation, some of the islands have been omitted, and others relegated to the shore.

Selectable materials

For every art print we offer a range of different materials and sizes. The following options are available for individualization:

• Canvas: The canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas mounted on a wood stretcher. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a print on plexiglass, will transform the original work of art into beautiful wall decoration and makes a good alternative option to aluminium and canvas fine art replicas. The artwork is manufactured with state-of-the-art UV print machines. The real glass coating protects your chosen fine art print against light and external influences for decades.
• Poster print on canvas material: Our poster print is a UV printed cotton canvas with a slightly roughened finish on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6 cm round about the print, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true effect of depth. For your Aluminium Dibond print, we print your work of art onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum. The colors are luminous, the fine details appear crisp, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel. This print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly stylish way to showcase art reproductions, because it puts 100% of the viewer’s focus on the artwork.
