About this work

Artist: J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851)
Year: 1827
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 92.1 × 122.2 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Romanticism

The lawn of The Limes, William Moffatt's house at Mortlake on the Thames, seen in late afternoon as the sun sets straight down the river. Two ivy-covered elms frame the view, long shadows stripe the grass, and a gardener's ladder, a hoop, a doll on a red chair and an open portfolio lie where they were dropped by figures gone to watch the Lord Mayor's barge pass. Turner painted it for Moffatt in 1827 and showed it at the Royal Academy that year; it is one of two views of the terrace he made, the other an early-morning scene. The light, built up with heavy impasto where the sun spills over the parapet, reflects the change his first stay in Venice had worked on his vision. Andrew Mellon acquired it in 1920 and gave it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1937.

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 sunlit lawn with long shadows, elms and a dropped doll on a red chair, for a living room, garden-facing hallway or bedroom at 24×18 or 32×24 in black or natural oak. A cream, sage or warm grey wall; it suits late-afternoon light.

Orientation: Landscape
Mood: calm
Rooms: living room, dining room
Good gift for: housewarming, art lovers

Framing. Printed edge to edge: a slim black or natural oak frame right to the image, or let the canvas wrap do the framing.

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 Mortlake Terrace in the public domain?

Yes. J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) 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 National Gallery 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; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Mortlake Terrace painted, and in what medium?

Mortlake Terrace dates from 1827 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 92.1 × 122.2 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
