About this work

Artist: George Inness (1825–1894)
Year: 1865
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 197.2 × 285.4 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Movement: Hudson River School

Harvesters bind sheaves of wheat in a broad, sunlit river valley under a warm evening sky, with haystacks, trees and distant hills; the canvas is nearly three metres wide. Inness finished it in 1865, as the Civil War ended, and the title, the bountiful harvest and his statements at the time express his confidence in Union victory and the prosperity to follow. It was also a manifesto. Against the grand, literal panoramas of Church and Bierstadt, Inness offered familiar farmland charged with feeling, painted in enriched colour and softened strokes, with none of their exotic subject matter or heightened detail. The approach would carry him towards the tonal, almost visionary landscapes of his late career. George A. Hearn gave the painting to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1894.

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

Size. 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.

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 Peace and Plenty in the public domain?

Yes. George Inness (1825–1894) 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, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Peace and Plenty painted, and in what medium?

Peace and Plenty dates from 1865 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 197.2 × 285.4 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.
