Description

Thick, textured strokes of blue and grey build a river scene where a white-sailed boat cuts through the water beside a cluster of moored rowboats rendered in quick dabs of ochre and gold. Behind them, a dense bank of trees rises in a patchwork of green, rust, and yellow, their reflections breaking apart in the rippling current below. The paint is applied with unusual thickness for a river subject, giving the whole scene a raised, almost sculpted surface under a pale grey-blue sky.

Painted in 1890 and held at the National Gallery of Art, this small, vividly worked canvas turns an everyday boating spot into a study of color and paint texture.

This reproduction of The Blue River is available as a hand-painted oil copy on canvas or as an archival giclee print, made to order in the size of your choice and delivered ready to hang.

The craft

The oil edition of this Renoir artwork is painted by hand on canvas. A canvas art print reproduces the image in ink, with the brushmarks visible in the picture rather than raised paint.

  • Oil editions painted individually by studio artists
  • Canvas prints reproduce the image on canvas
  • Individually quality-inspected before it leaves the studio
  • Made to order in your chosen size and presentation

Materials & Care

Materials

The oil reproduction is painted on cotton canvas; the art print is printed on canvas. Rolled canvas arrives without a stretcher. Stretched canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher frame; thin and thick frames are separate presentation choices.

On request, the studio provides a certificate for your hand-painted reproduction; it certifies the studio's work, not an original by the artist.

Care

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid cleaning products, prolonged direct sunlight and damp conditions.

Sizing

Choose a size and presentation in the options above. Both editions keep the original image proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes can The Blue River be printed or painted in?

This boating scene has no fixed original dimensions on record, so we offer The Blue River in a range of sizes, from a compact canvas to a larger format that shows off the thick brushwork.

Will a hand-painted copy capture the thick brushwork?

Yes, our artists build up real oil paint in layers to echo the raised, textured strokes of the original, or you can choose an archival canvas print if you prefer a flatter, faster finish.

How long until my Blue River order arrives?

Printed canvases of this river scene typically ship within a week, while a hand-painted oil reproduction of The Blue River needs several weeks to build up the textured paint and dry before shipping.
