John Frederick Kensett, 1872 - Study of Beeches - fine art print

Additional information as provided by the museum (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

The title of this work, received with the donation in 1874 of thirty-eight Kensett paintings collectively known as "The Last Summer's Work," is evidently a misnomer. The trees are birches, with their textured white bark and relatively thin foliage, not beeches, with their smooth gray bark and dense foliage. The picture has all the hallmarks of having been painted en plein air, and may well have been executed on the shores of Lake George, the site of scores of Kensett's finished works. Surprisingly, but consistent with his draftsmanship especially of near-at-hand motifs, Kensett here evinced remarkable spontaneity seemingly at odds with the patient, deliberating technician revealed in his serene vistas of lake and shore painted in the studio. On the other hand, in the artist's finished compositions, the foreground parcels of picturesque shoreline—not infrequently composed of birches or brittle conifer trees—which sketches like this one often informed, serve subtly to animate with an electric-like charge the otherwise placid tenor that prevails.

• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes named as a UV print on plexiglass, will convert the original into amazing home décor and makes a great alternative to canvas or aluminium dibond fine art replicas. The artwork will be custom-made with modern UV direct printing technology.
• Aluminium dibond (metal print): This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond with a true depth. Its non-reflective surface creates a modern impression. The white and bright parts of the original artwork shine with a silk gloss but without the glow.
• Poster (canvas material): The poster is a printed flat canvas paper with a nice finish on the surface, that resembles the actual work of art. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the print motif to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
• Canvas print: The canvas print is a printed cotton canvas mounted on a wood frame. The canvas makes a cosy and warm look. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
