About this work

Artist: Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863)
Year: 1834
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 180 × 229 cm
Collection: Musée du Louvre, Paris
Movement: Romanticism

Three women in loose, richly embroidered garments and gold jewellery sit in an enclosed, lavishly decorated room, one with a pink flower in her hair, while a fourth, a Black servant, turns to leave at the right. Delacroix drew on his North African journey of 1832, which ended in Algiers, and painted the picture in Paris in 1834. He showed it at that year's Salon, where it drew mixed reviews, and King Louis-Philippe bought it for the Musée du Luxembourg; it moved to the Louvre in 1874. A second, warmer version followed in 1849 and is in Montpellier. Few paintings have had such a long afterlife among painters: Van Gogh and Gauguin travelled to see the Montpellier version in 1888, Cézanne spoke of its colour entering the eye like wine, and Picasso made fifteen variations on it in 1954.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Embroidered garments, gold jewellery and a lavishly decorated room, a rich interior for a living room, bedroom or dining room with patterned textiles at 24×36 in black. A deep green, terracotta or warm grey wall; it suits rugs and brass.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. 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. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

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 exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Women of Algiers in their Apartment in the public domain?

Yes. Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) 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 Musée du Louvre.

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 natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Women of Algiers in their Apartment painted, and in what medium?

Women of Algiers in their Apartment dates from 1834 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 180 × 229 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 Women of Algiers in their Apartment we'd choose 24×36.
