A slender pine rises from a mossy bank beside a stream that runs red-brown and dark blue, its trunk forking near the ground, with branches of dark needles and bushes of pink-red blossom around it; the whole hillside is built from short strokes of green, ochre and red. Segantini painted it around 1897 in the Swiss Alps. The Cleveland Museum of Art points to the extreme close-up and flat, decorative space, meant to stir feeling rather than record the scene. The canvas was with the Milan gallery of Alberto Grubicy until 1907 and entered the Cleveland collection in 1982.
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
Deep greens with flecks of pink and a red-brown stream suit a narrow wall in a hallway, bathroom or bedroom. Pair it with Van Gogh's Cypresses at 16×24 in a dark wood frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.
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).
