William Morris Hunt, 1877 - Sand Bank with Willows, Magnolia - fine art print

Original artwork information from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Hunt spent the summer of 1877 in Magnolia, a fishing village near Gloucester, on the Massachusetts coast. From there, he took short sketching trips in a wagon that served as a traveling studio. His biographer noted: “Arrived at the spot selected, Hunt would leap from the van, take a camp-stool and a block of charcoal paper, and, with a stick of soft charcoal seize the salient points of the subject to be rendered.” After his assistant reproduced the charcoal sketch on canvas back in the studio, Hunt would wait for the right moment, then “seize palette and brushes, and perhaps complete the picture in one sitting.”

Hanging a canvas print: Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy and straightforward to hang up your Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for any type of wall.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster print is a printed sheet of cotton canvas paper with a slightly rough texture on the surface. It is perfectly suited for putting your art replica with a personal frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm around the print, which facilitates the framing.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with a true depth effect. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the perfect introduction to prints with aluminum. For the Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your chosen artwork right onto the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The white & bright components of the artpiece shimmer with a silk gloss, however without glare. Colors are luminous and bright, the details of the print appear clear and crisp, and the print has a a matte look that you can literally feel.
• Printed acrylic glass: An acrylic glass print, often named a print on plexiglass, will change the original artwork into magnificient décor. The work of art is made with modern UV print machines. This creates vibrant and sharp colors. The major upside of a plexiglass print is that contrasts and minor color details will be more recognizeable due to the very subtle tonal gradation of the picture. Our real glass coating protects your selected fine art print against sunlight and external influences for between 40-60 years.
