James Peale, 1820 - Still Life: Balsam Apple and Vegetables - fine art print

Original information about the artwork by the museum's website (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

This painting dates from a peak period of James Peale's career. While he typically used somber colors and linear forms, his use of vivid colors and painterly execution in this work suggest that it is a somewhat experimental exercise. With its focus on lavish vegetable forms, this work resembles still lifes of the Spanish school. The vegetables are, from left to right, okra, blue-green cabbage, crinkly Savoy cabbage, Hubbard squash, eggplant, balsam apple, tomatoes, and purple-red cabbage.

Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the print motif in order to facilitate the framing.
• The canvas print: The canvas print, not to be mistaken with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy printed directly on cotton canvas material. In addition to that, a canvas creates a cosy and positive look. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang up the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): This is a metal print manufactured on aluminium dibond with a true depth. A non-reflective surface structure creates a modern look. The bright & white sections of the artpiece shine with a silky gloss, however without glow. The colors of the print are luminous in the highest definition, the details of the print appear crisp.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An print on acrylic glass, often named a UV print on plexiglass, will transform the artwork into magnificient wall décor. The major upside of a plexiglass fine art print is that sharp contrasts and smaller color details become more identifiable because of the granular gradation in the print. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your custom art print against sunlight and heat for many decades.
