About this work

Artist: Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849–1921)
Year: 1917
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 138.1 × 161 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Movement: Realism

The bare granite summit of Mount Monadnock catches the first pink light of a winter morning above a dark band of pine and spruce, with a frozen, misty foreground below. Thayer lived at the foot of the mountain in Dublin, New Hampshire, and painted it many times in his last years. The forest and snow are worked in muted greys and browns, so the warm light on the peak stands out. The Metropolitan Museum acquired the painting in 1917.

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 muted grey, brown and blush mountain view for a living room, study or cabin in a dark wood frame. It suits stone, warm white or slate walls at 12×18 and pairs with Twachtman's Winter Harmony.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. Prints at 12×18 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid.

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 Winter Sunrise, Monadnock in the public domain?

Yes. Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849–1921) 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 12×18 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 Winter Sunrise, Monadnock painted, and in what medium?

Winter Sunrise, Monadnock dates from 1917 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 138.1 × 161 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 12×18 is the size that reads as one statement piece. For Winter Sunrise, Monadnock we'd choose 12×18.
