Maurice Prendergast, 1892 - Bastille Day - fine art print

Artwork specifications from the museum (© Copyright - The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

Like Edgar Degas, Prendergast was a skilled and devoted practitioner of monotype, a technique he began to investigate in Paris about 1891 or 1892, perhaps having seen examples of the French artist’s work in this medium. He was influenced by the flattened space and emphasis on surface pattern of ukiyo-e (Japanese color woodcuts) as well as the etchings of James McNeill Whistler, who used ink left on the surface of the printing plate to create evocative atmospheric effects. Prendergast produced beautiful colored monotypes documenting the pastimes of stylish urbanites. Bastille Day, one of the few works that can be dated to the artist’s early years in Paris, distills the scene of lanterns illuminating the boulevards to an almost abstract composition of reflective colored light and bustling crowds.

Available material choices

The product dropdown list provides you with the possibility to choose a material and a size of your choice. The following options are available for individualization:

• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an impressive depth. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the perfect introduction to art replicas on aluminum. This direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a contemporary way to showcase art reproductions, since it puts all of the viewer’s attention on the image.
• The acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, often referred to as a print on plexiglass, will change your favorite original into brilliant home décor and is a distinct alternative to aluminium and canvas art prints. The artwork is printed with state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. The great advantage of a plexiglass fine art copy is that sharp contrasts plus granular image details become more visible with the help of the fine tonal gradation in the print.
• The canvas print: A canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood frame. Hanging a canvas print: The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. Therefore, a canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Poster (canvas material): Our poster is a printed flat canvas paper with a nice texture on the surface, which reminds the original masterpiece. The poster print is perfectly used for framing your fine art print with the help of a special frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the painting to facilitate the framing.
