A catboat called Gloucester chops through a Massachusetts harbor in a fair wind in this iconic painting reflecting the optimism of America's future. First exhibited at the National Academy of Design and in Philadelphia's Centennial Exposition, it was described as a true and hearty work. Homer was a preeminent figure in American art, considered one of the foremost painters of the 19th century. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
The item pictured shows a painting that is large compared to the frame. Unfortunately, the item I received is just the opposite. The frame is about 4 inches wide. The painting in the 16.5" x 13" size is actually 9" wide and 5 7/16" high. Judging by the item pictured, I had expected the painting to be about 80% the size of the frame. Instead, it is less than 25% of the size of the frame.
The painting appears to be a gicleé print and it is nicely done. It was well packed and arrived in good condition.
