About this work

Artist: Giovanni Segantini (1858–1899)
Year: 1892
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 86 × 80 cm
Collection: Ohara Museum of Art, Kurashiki
Movement: Symbolism

A shepherdess in a long blue dress and a straw hat leans against a fallen birch trunk in bright sun, a staff in her hand, while a flock of sheep grazes across a yellow-green alpine meadow; one ewe stretches its neck up beside her. Behind are grey peaks and a deep blue sky laid in streaky strokes. Segantini painted it in 1892, after moving to Savognin in the Swiss Alps in 1886, where he began to separate his colours into side-by-side strokes, the Divisionist technique, to raise their brilliance. The canvas belongs to the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki, Japan.

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

Blue sky, yellow-green pasture and white sheep make a sunny, open picture for a living room, kitchen or a child's room. Pair it with Marc's The Sheep at 16×24 in a dark wood frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; dark wood warms 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 Midday in the Alps in the public domain?

Yes. Giovanni Segantini (1858–1899) died more than 70 years ago and the work was made and first published more than 95 years ago, so the painting itself is public domain in the US and Europe. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Ohara Museum of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 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 Midday in the Alps painted, and in what medium?

Midday in the Alps dates from 1892 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 86 × 80 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Midday in the Alps we'd choose 16×24.
