About this work

Artist: Maurice Prendergast (1858–1924)
Year: c. 1914–1915
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 52.7 × 68.6 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Movement: Post-Impressionism

Riders, carriages and strollers pass along a path in Central Park under trees in leaf, painted as a flat frieze of bright dabs and outlines like a tapestry or mosaic. Prendergast painted the park many times, first in watercolour and later in oil, turning the city's leisure into decorative pattern. It is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A festive, tapestry-like park scene for a hallway, dining room or child's room in a dark wood frame. It suits white, cream or soft green walls.

Size. Prints at 16×12, 24×18 in — 16×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×18 above a console or sideboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Central Park in the public domain?

Yes. Maurice Prendergast (1858–1924) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 16×12 and 24×18 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Central Park painted, and in what medium?

Central Park dates from c. 1914–1915 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 52.7 × 68.6 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×18 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×12 suits a narrower wall or a pair. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
